What is the exact error? Is it accompanied by an error code? libkmod looks for
the following files, typically located in `/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/`, when
client applications request a context [1]; most of these can be generated with
depmod(8):
- modules.dep
- modules.alias
- modules.symbols
- modules.builtin.alias
- modules.builtin
struct _index_files {
const char *fn;
const char *prefix;
}
The most interesting for kernel modules is `modules.alias`, which is the more
modern representation of `modules.{pci,usb}map` [2]. Are all these files intact
on your system? What happens when you run `lsmod`?
