Public bug reported:
Out of the box on 16.04, when run with a monolithic kernel (i.e. non-
modular), /lib/systemd/systemd-modules-load bombs out. This happens
even though there are only comments in the systemd-modules-load
configuration, i.e. there is nothing for it to do.
This causes systemd to regard the system state as degraded, because the
systemd-modules-load.service unit failed.
I suspect I could probably disable that unit, but then I would not be
able to boot back to a modular kernel and have initial module loading
work.
IMO, there should be a configuration option for systemd-modules-load to
allow a success return code if the kernel does not support loading
modules. Or if that is not seen as a good fix, it should at least
succeed if it is not asked to load anything (i.e. empty config)

I expect "systemctl" to show
State: running
...
Failed: 0 units
Instead I see:
State: degraded
...
Failed: 2 units
FYI I'm attaching apport data. It's hard to use ubuntu-bug if you don't
have a ubuntu desktop.
