Modules are compiled separately and saved onto the hard drive, they will not be available until after the hard drive has been mounted and so if the kernel needs that module during the boot process then the kernel will panic and will not boot. You are strongly advised to not compile anything as a module until you know what you're doing. > What if I tick all options? Then the kernel will take a very long time to compile and probably wouldn't work. Take your time, read the help text and compile a small kernel tailored to fit your system that boots quickly and runs efficiently.
