That is not correct. If you see the penguins, that ONLY means grub has loaded a kernel (with framebuffer support), and that kernel has started to initialise itself. In LFS, we do not use an initrd so everything which is required before modules can be loaded MUST be built in. The primary things are the correct device drivers for your disk controller(s), and the filesystems. Under SCSI device support on a typical recent x86 machine, enable SCSI disk support, SCSI CDROM support, SCSI generic support (the last two are for the CD/DVD device, so that you can burn a backup). Within Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers (libata) enable whatever matches your hardware. In a distro, use lsmod to see what got loaded or lspci -v and google to see what chipsets you have, and which drivers they use. Anything which is not needed before userspace has been brought up (e.g. the network driver) can be a module. ĸen -- Nanny Ogg usually went to bed early. After all, she was an old lady.
