So the "=m" in the output I've posted shows that on my system, these options are compiled as modules. Compare with these options which are compiled in statically: $ zcat /proc/config.gz | grep '=y' | head CONFIG_GENTOO_LINUX=y CONFIG_GENTOO_LINUX_UDEV=y CONFIG_GENTOO_LINUX_INIT_SCRIPT=y CONFIG_GENTOO_LINUX_INIT_SYSTEMD=y CONFIG_64BIT=y CONFIG_X86_64=y CONFIG_X86=y CONFIG_INSTRUCTION_DECODER=y CONFIG_LOCKDEP_SUPPORT=y CONFIG_STACKTRACE_SUPPORT=y $ If a driver is compiled statically, it is always present in the kernel, and loaded into memory at boot time. If a driver is compiled as a module, it is only loaded into memory if and when needed. This is an incomplete answer for you, because I know nothing about Genkernel. Stroller.
