This is where my brute force techniques probably break down. I just
do a 'bitbake virtual/kernel' and you'll see it display which
recipe is being built.

If you haven't added compatibility for your new machine to any
recipe, I'm betting that linux-dummy is used.

It is plausible. But in theory, linux-dummy should still provide
what you need (but since it doesn't build anything, there is
no abi .. and no modules can be built against it) .. so the
error isn't graceful.
