FWIW I have code that I was planning to polish and submit (hopefully next week) that determines modules needed for a particular device by walking /sys. In addition, I thought we could make the initrd module list a first class field of ‘operating-system’. With these two pieces, ‘guix system’ should be able to warn when a module is missing. Ludo’.
