Appologies if the answer to this question's painfully obvious, but this is
my first local instalation of linux. I'm curious as to whether or not, when
using genkernel, one still needs to add hardware modules to
/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6. Something's telling me no, since it
generates an initramfs and that's supposed to handle hardware detection, but
as this is my first time doing this I want to be sure. I'd of compiled the
kernel myself but I'm not entirely comfortable with doing that on this
system, as I don't know enough about it to do so. But, if anyone here can
provide me with that information, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you in
advance.
