Hi, I installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS WSL2. I build linux kernel and given .wslconfig file in the path C:\Users\<my_user_name> I wrote .wslconfig as [wsl2] kernel=C:\Users\sysadmin\load_kernel\vmlinux where vmlinux is the image of the linux kernel and I run wsl --shutdown and restart the WSL2. When I bootup it is showing, The operation timed out because a response was not received from the virtual machine or container. Press any key to continue... Please help how to proceed with the error, and also I don't want to use microsoft default kernel.
