Description Christophe LEFEBVRE 2003-05-23 13:22:56 UTC 
There is no kernel in Gentoo 1.4 RC 4 then I do "modprobe ppp_generic" (for 
example) in order to install my alcatel speedtouch modem for install Gentoo 
from the Internet. It is strange because you talk about the kernel in the 
documentation.
Comment 1 Bob Johnson (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-05-23 17:38:21 UTC 
its quite impossible to boot linux without a kernel... 
Youll need to explain better as i have no idea what your talking about. 
 
				Thanks

Exactly, thereis a kernel to boot Gentoo Linux. But, to install my Alcatel Speedtouch modem, I need some modules (ppp_generic for example) which they are not in the loaded kernel.
Then, I have an interest to have a lot of modules in the loaded kernel or a full kernel source (like the previous versions of Gentoo) in the stage 3. Yes, the tutorial talk about a kernel in the stage 3 and there is no kernel in the stage 3 of the version 1.4 RC 4.
