I have the following in my running kernel:
modules.alias modules.builtin
modules.builtin.bin modules.dep.bin modules.order
modules.symbols
modules.alias.bin modules.builtin.alias.bin modules.dep
modules.devname modules.softdep
modules.symbols.bin
and the error message is
lspci: Unable to load libkmod resources: error -12
