No kernel image is built

[christian-heusel]

I think this might be a user error, but mkosi-kernel has stopped working for me:

$ mkosi -f qemu

‣ Kernel or UKI not found at /home/chris/Documents/shared_projects/mkosi-kernel/mkosi.output/image.vmlinuz, please install a kernel in the image or provide a -kernel argument to mkosi qemu

This is even though I have applied the settings advertised in README.md:

diff --git a/mkosi.conf b/mkosi.conf

Any idea what could be going wrong?

Yeah turns out this was indeed the case 😆 Got it fixed by providing an actual kernel source tree with BuildSources 🥹
