The Linux kernel version 6.18.3 was built and boot-tested using qemu-x86_64 and qemu-arm64 with the default configuration (defconfig).
Both build and boot processes completed successfully on arm64 and x86_64. The kernel operated as expected in the virtualized environments, and no issues were observed. No dmesg regressions were found.
