What is the exact error? Is it accompanied by an error code? libkmod looks for |
| 8 |
the following files, typically located in `/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/`, when |
| 9 |
client applications request a context [1]; most of these can be generated with |
| 10 |
depmod(8): |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
- modules.dep |
| 13 |
- modules.alias |
| 14 |
- modules.symbols |
| 15 |
- modules.builtin.alias |
| 16 |
- modules.builtin |

struct _index_files { |

const char *fn; |
| 20 |
const char *prefix; |
| 21 |
} |

The most interesting for kernel modules is `modules.alias`, which is the more |
| 24 |
modern representation of `modules.{pci,usb}map` [2]. Are all these files intact |
| 25 |
on your system? What happens when you run `lsmod`? |
