Kindly place a condition to not include “firmware_install” for kernel 4.14 and onwards if possible. Thanks.

For now i just comment those 2 line from kernel.py…
Line #479 and i forgot the other line#…something about self.makeinstall…

if you are using a recent version of snapcraft(2.36+), just add
“kernel-with-firmware: false” to your snapcraft.yaml:

snapcraft.yaml:
…
parts:
kernel:
…
kernel-with-firmware: false
