I thought the part of the OS that is run before the modules were initiated
was the kernal.

It (what I think is the kernal) seems to occupy in 5.11:

FC000000 to 
FC01E0D0

With the UtilityModule starting at FC01E0D4

or am I missunderstanding things.

Also if I understand correctly what JB has posted and told me in the past,
there is a BIOS that is run before the RISC OS kernel.
