= The kernel module image

[role="_abstract"]
Day 1 kernel module loading in {product-title} uses Driver Toolkit-based container images shared with Day 2 KMM builds. These images must contain your out-of-tree kernel modules so the Machine Config Operator can pull and load them during node boot.

The out-of-tree kernel module should be located under `/opt/lib/modules/${kernelVersion}`.
