It's always been based on stable, AFAIK.
If it was able to boot the Live USB to install it, I figure that means the kernel is new enough to actually run the laptop properly. I can only guess something in the installer itself was messing up somehow? Or perhaps it wasn't making an entry in the boot table? That's an odd one for sure.
