cannot stat './modules.builtin.modinfo'

Hi,
I am having troubles installing the kvm kernel. While installing the modules I receive the error message
cp: cannot stat './modules.builtin.modinfo': No such file or directory make: *** [Makefile:1314: _modinst_] Error 1
Do you have an idea, why this file could be missing?
Making the modules seemed to ended successfully:

I am doing a bare-metal setup on Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS

Hi @chris-vdb !

The kernel build is tested on ubuntu 18.04 and 22.04 in this workflow:
https://github.com/KVM-VMI/kvm-vmi/blob/master/.github/workflows/build.yml

However we don't try to install the modules with sudo make modules_install.

Can i ask you to try the bindeb-pkg method ?

Hi @Wenzel
Thanks for the quick response. After altering my configuration according to the configuration in the workflow, I was able to create the debian packages, thanks!
