I'm not sure where that error comes from, but it sounds like you do need to |
| 16 |
heed it. |

If you *want* a kernel without modules, then enable module loading and make |
| 18 |
sure all the drivers you need are compiled in. |
| 19 |
If you *need* to not have module loading, then I'd imagine you have no choice |
| 20 |
but to compile it manually. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
p.s. Do you *need* an initrd/initramfs? With no modules I doubt you do, so try |
| 23 |
genkernel with kernel instead of all. |
