'module-init-tools' (with our patch) assumes that LINUX_MODULE_DIRECTORY
ends with a trailing slash. However, 'udev-service' sets
LINUX_MODULE_DIRECTORY to "/run/booted-system/kernel/lib/modules".
One option would be to add a trailing slash:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
--- a/gnu/services/base.scm
+++ b/gnu/services/base.scm
@@ -488,7 +488,7 @@ passed to @command{guix-daemon}."
;; Allow udev to find the modules.
(setenv "LINUX_MODULE_DIRECTORY"
- "/run/booted-system/kernel/lib/modules")
+ "/run/booted-system/kernel/lib/modules/")
(let ((pid (primitive-fork)))
(case pid
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Another option would be to change module-init-tools-moduledir.patch to
cope with the lack of a trailing slash.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Mark

I think it would be best to fix the module-init-tools patch.
Could you look into it?
(Note that (1) udev uses kmod, not module-init-tools, and (2) it’s
possible to use ‘kmod load’ instead of ‘insmod’.)
Thanks,
Ludo’.

Okay.

Hmm, yes, I would like to transition to kmod from module-init-tools, but
'kmod load' doesn't work for me, at least not within the standalone guix
system. 'kmod help' doesn't list 'load' as one of the commands either.
The only way I was able to get 'kmod' to work was to create a symlink
named 'modprobe' that points to it, and then running that.
I think we should consider creating those symlinks in our 'kmod'
package. What do you think?
Thanks!
Mark
