I’m not feeling “scared” after reading three posts from the Please use kernel-modules-hook instead of kernel-alive! thread. I was still bright green back then and so much was going over my head… only slightly less bright green now
I) kernel-alive was removed as a default from all ISO’s that contained it… (kernel-modules-hook was never a default)
II) keeping it included could be “counterproductive for troubleshooting”… (I presume the same could be said for kernel-modules-hook if it was defaulted)
III) the “why it was used” explanation that must have planted the seeds I recalled and paraphrased here… (P.S. I finally read/understand the “root tip” now )
