In this context the user is always (indirectly) interacting with the kernel.
The shell needn't be bash though, it might be tcsh. I guess you could login
with no GNU software (init, mingetty, login, tcsh ?) although presumably you
couldn't do much useful. I think calling it the GNU/Linux console could harm
the GNU Project: it could create a backlash from kernel developers who are
currently sympathetic to the use of GNU/Linux to describe the system.
