How can it not be a major problem to be missing the player kernel
modules for your current kernel?
Why should the player setup succeed when in reality something is broken
and the software won't work. At least if the installation fails the
user will see there is an error. Otherwise they'll believe everything
is great and they'll try to power on a VM and things will fail.
The init script is not the most robust piece of code ever written,
that's for sure. But its problems should be fixed instead of blindly
ignoring them. Not having the right kernel modules installed is not a
valid reason, these should be installed automatically on behalf of the
user.
