Frustrated

I have reached the end of the LFS document and have a kernel panic. I am searching for the solution. It seems like I have not learned anything. I was stuck in the devices chapter and moved on, but what if this is the cause of the error? I still do not understand the kernel! I do not remember configuring it. I only see the API headers. But no .configure, make and make install stuff. It's frustrating because this is the main reason I started this in the first place.

I'm going to quit for today. Tomorrow, read the FAQ, "How do I compile a kernel or set up modules". Not sure why this is in the FAQ, it should be in the main documentation.
