Do you know how the kernel module is supposed to get loaded?
I'm guessing that the kernel tries at boot but the module doesn't get
built and installed until after the kernel is loaded so the module just
isn't there in time.
The more I think about it the more useless the startup script seems to
be, the shutdown one should catch this situation and then the module
should be available on reboot... I need to think about this some more.
Do you also have the shutdown service enabled?
No, I don't.
So then I guess it would need to rebuild the kmod for all installed
kernels, not just the currently running one as it can't know which
kernel you might want to boot, although the latest would probably be a
good guess.
