Hello,

I recently completed a build and wrote the image to my bootable media. The image didn't boot but I suspect that my build system kernel was provided instead of a kernel specific to my board.

During build packages I saw a mention that a kernel wasn't included.

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/docs/+/main/developer_guide.md#Build-the-packages-for-your-board

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/docs/+/main/developer_guide.md#Build-a-disk-image-for-your-board

During building a diskimage / cros flash I noticed the output : 

* Linux kernel version: 5.10.0-3-amd64

 

Which happens to be the build system kernel. Then I think my device isn't booting due to using the wrong kernel architecture. So how do I provide an appropriate kernel? 

Preferably one that's preconfigured if available.

If there are moderators in these groups please feel free to remove this post. This has been resolved by a post that was placed directly to Cros-dev many days ago. There was some confusion after following the developer guide. The guide tells us to create API keys, then in a linked page we need to sign up for the Chromium-dev google group. Then I made an incorrect assumption that chromium-dev was the place for cros-dev questions. It looks like I might not be the only one who has made this mistake: https://groups.google.com/u/1/a/chromium.org/g/chromium-os-dev/c/mDVzYm4R-b4
