So far I have compiled everything I needed under make menuconfig as
inbuilt instead of module. That works fine but I have always wondered
what the difference between the two options is.
I have learned that modules have to be loaded (with modprobe) and that
certain things such as support for the root file system must not be
compiled as module. Is that correct? Why and when should I compile
something as a module?
I have tried to compile one option as module and I had to load it later
using modprobe. How can I autoload modules?
