Ray,

Your issue is different than the issue Brian reported in this bug.

Looking again at your comment #2, I see that the output of...

    $ file /home/ubuntu/image/squashfs-root/boot/vmlinuz-4.18.0-rc2-udl+

..is producing a result that Cubic can not parse.

The output should look something like this example...

    $ sudo file /boot/vmlinuz-4.15.0-32-generic

Example output...

/boot/vmlinuz-4.15.0-32-generic: Linux kernel x86 boot executable bzImage, version 4.15.0-32-generic (buildd@lgw01-amd64-039) #35-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 10 17:58:07 UTC 2018, RO-rootFS, swap_dev 0x7, Normal VGA

Notice that the format of the version information ("version 4.15.0-32-generic") in this example is of the form:

    number.number.number-number

This is the format Cubic is looking for. Since you are compiling your own kernel, your version may have a different format than what Cubic expects.

If you can share the output of...

    $ file /home/ubuntu/image/squashfs-root/boot/vmlinuz-4.18.0-rc2-udl+

...I ~may~ be able to accommodate a generalization for your scenario in Cubic.
