Kernel parameters

---

Kernel parameters is the core options that are passed thought the system which can change how the kernel does a specific task. For example you can turn off logging to the virtual console or use a specific module option.

Modifying options

There are three main ways you can change kernel options:

1. When building the Kernel itself using the make menuconfig command.
2. Passing options to the kernel at boot time through your boot loader.
3. Using the /proc/sys interface or the sysctl command to change parameters at runtime.
