There's a *more* advanced kernel in backports? I thought backports was
for old stuff. And I've never used it, not sure how to do it. The other
problem here is that, if I could actually boot, I could update the
kernel. But without being able to boot the drive, I can't quite imagine
how I'd update the kernel.

Briefly, backports is a method of bringing newer stuff into stable, for
people who really, really need newer. They are handled by a team who try
to ensure that stuff in testing is working well enough that the rest of
us should be able to use it with fewer problems than simply running
testing.
I thought you were getting a terminal? You said that you have another
PC. So
Find a tutorial on adding backports to your sources.list, then how to
use backports. I have an alias that installs backports:
sudo apt-get -y install --install-recommends -t bullseye-backports
package
The tutorial should explain how to add a line to your sources.list,
# apt update,
apt search linux-image
check for signed images (linux-image-5.14.0-0.bpo.2-amd64/now
5.14.9-2~bpo11+1 amd64 [installed,local] Linux 5.14 for 64-bit PCs
(signed)
# apt-get -y install --install-recommends -t bullseye-backports
(maybe???) linux-image-5.14.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 from my list of available
images
