| |
| With Funtoo, OpenRC loads modules from <code>/etc/conf.d/modules</code> using the line:
| |
|
| |
| <pre>
| |
| modules_2_6="list of modules"
| |
| </pre>
| |
| With Funtoo, define module arguments as follows:
| |
|
| |
| <pre>
| |
| module_module-name_args_2_6="module arg=value"
| |
| </pre>

| If you prefer to manually configure and compile a kernel from source code directly, keep these things in mind:
| |
|
| |
| * You are touching the very low level aspects of a system, it is ''absolutely normal'' to have difficulties in properly setting up a kernel (in fact, configuring a Linux Kernel could be considered a bit of an ''art'')
| |
| * Take your time to investigate, it is a great occasion to Google a bit for some unknown notions (e.g. What is an ''I2C bus'' ? Hey, what is ''token ring'' ? What is a ''kernel module?'').
| |
| * When your first kernel configuration is done, you can reuse it as a basis of configuration
| |
| * In case of doubt, keep the suggested defaults
| |
| * If you want your system to boot, and your are not using an initrd, you'll need to build all boot-related filesystems and drivers ''into'' the kernel directly rather than as modules.
