+        Install and load a kernel module, and ensure it loads on reboot.
+        ```ruby
+        kernel_module 'loop'
+        ```
+        Install and load a kernel with a specific set of options, and ensure it loads on reboot. Consult kernel module
+        documentation for specific options that are supported.
+        ```ruby
+        kernel_module 'loop' do
+          options [
+            'max_loop=4',
+            'max_part=8'
+          ]
+        end
+        ```
+        Load a kernel module.
+        ```ruby
+        kernel_module 'loop' do
+          action :load
+        end
+        ```
+        Unload a kernel module and remove module config, so it doesn’t load on reboot.
+        ```ruby
+        kernel_module 'loop' do
+          action :uninstall
+        end
+        ```
+        Unload kernel module.
+        ```ruby
+        kernel_module 'loop' do
+          action :unload
+        end
+        ```
+        Blacklist a module from loading.
+        ```ruby
+        kernel_module 'loop' do
+          action :blacklist
+        end
+        ```
+        Disable a kernel module.
+        ```ruby
+        kernel_module 'loop' do
+          action :disable
+        end
