Description Vladimir D. Seleznev 2022-01-16 11:44:35 MSK

The commentary in the file says that kernel modules listed in the file will be loaded at boot time, but this does not happen. It breaks intallations that rely on it.

> The commentary in the file says that kernel modules

Just to make sure we're on the same page, where is that comment?

Comment 2 Alexey Gladkov 2022-01-16 17:41:37 MSK

Found it:

$ head -5 /etc/modules
# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are
# to be loaded at boot time, one per line.  Comments begin with
# a `#', and everything on the line after them are ignored.

In 0.9.9.14-alt1 this config has moved to /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf . This config should be handled by systemd-modules-load. If this is not the case, then reassign the bug to the appropriate package.

It seems that this config is not handled by systemd-modules-load. Reassing the bug.

The latest update of startup package should have converted /etc/modules file into a symlink to /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf file, please make sure it's the case.

It was startup-0.9.9.13-alt1. After upgrading to startup-0.9.9.14-alt1 the file is converted into the symlink. Then I close this bugreport. Sorry for the mess. Thank you!
