Kerneling

Kerneling refers to a process in computer operating systems where the core component, the kernel, is loaded into memory and made ready to manage the system's resources. This happens during the boot-up sequence of a computer. The kernel is the fundamental part of the operating system, acting as an intermediary between the hardware and the software applications. Once the kernel is loaded, it initializes essential hardware devices, sets up memory management, and starts the process scheduler, which manages the execution of different programs. This initial loading and setup of the kernel is critical for the entire operating system to function. Different operating systems employ various methods for kernel loading, but the fundamental goal is to establish a stable and controlled environment for software to run. This process ensures that the operating system can effectively allocate CPU time, manage memory, and handle input/output operations.
