Monolithic kernels run all operating system functions in kernel mode. The kernel itself either contains all necessary code already (compile time extension) or modules can be loaded dynamically (e.g. linux). All kernel code has the same criticality: a bug and the kernel crashes!

I still maintain the point that designing a monolithic kernel in 1991 is a fundamental error. Be thankful you are not my student. You would not get a high grade for such a design :-)

Monolithic kernels traditional being implemented with more components in kernel space, while microkernels moved those components from kernel space to user space. Linus of course being on the monolithic design side of the fence (Linux being a monolithic kernel.)

To build a monolithic kernel, follow the same steps as building a modularized kernel, with a few exceptions. ... When configuring the kernel, do not compile anything as a module. In other words, only answer Yes or No to the questions. Also, you should answer No to kmod support and module version (CONFIG_MODVERSIONS) support.
