A.3. Building a Monolithic Kernel

To build a monolithic kernel, follow the same steps as building a modularized kernel, with a few exceptions.

  • When configuring the kernel, do not compile anything as a module. In other words, only answer Yes or No to the questions. Also, answer No to kmod support and module version (CONFIG_MODVERSIONS) support.

  • Omit the following steps:

    make modules
    make modules_install
  • Append the kernel line in grub.conf with nomodules or edit lilo.conf to include the append=nomodules line.
