Hello Florian,

Thank you for trying out this new service.

This a message saying it can't load that service, in this case because
it's parameters weren't formatted correctly, this is not specific to
this service that's how shepherd handle failing to load a service.
Please open a new issue about it if you think (as I do) that shepherd
should be more explicit when it fails to load a service.

Regarding this service, logging has been implemented in v5; the output
of modprobe will be logged if it fails, for example when trying to load
an invalid kernel module like “foo”.
