How to stub ninject's IKernel using Rhino Mocks?

Question

var mocks = new MockRepository();
var access = new Access();
access.ShowRepository = _mocks.Stub<IShowRepository>();
access.ShowRepository.Stub(x => x.GetShows()).Return(new List<Show>());
var kernel =_mocks.Stub<IKernel>();
kernel.Stub(x => x.Get<Access>()).Return(access);

This throws an ArgumentNullException:

Message: Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: source

I was able to solve this, I had to create a test module and a test provider and pass my mocks through those.

class DbAccessProvider : Provider<Access>
    {
        public Access DbAccess { get; set; }
        protected override Access CreateInstance(IContext context)
        {
            return DbAccess;
        }
    }

class TestModule : NinjectModule
    {
        public DbAccessProvider DbAccessProvider { get; set; }
        public override void Load()
        {
            Bind<Access>().ToProvider(DbAccessProvider);
        }
    }

Here is my SetUp from my test:

access = new Access();
access.SettingsRepository = MockRepository.GenerateStub<ISettingsRepository>();
access.ShowRepository = MockRepository.GenerateStub<IShowRepository>();
access.SettingsRepository.Stub(x => x.GetById(1)).Return(_settings);
DbAccessProvider dbAccessProvider = new DbAccessProvider();
dbAccessProvider.DbAccess = access;
TestModule testModule = new TestModule();
testModule.DbAccessProvider = dbAccessProvider;
var kernel = new StandardKernel(testModule);
target = new OptionsViewModel(kernel);
