Failed to load start kernel modules


Lately I have been seeing the message "failed to load start kernel modules" when booting F27.
Any advice on why this might be occurring and whether it is of any real consequence?

Cheers,
Terry

I quoted what I see on the screen during boot, no more detail available to explain, and I don't know where I should go to find it.

It's a message from systemd, as you would have seen if you had googled it. Try giving the command systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service and it should show you which module is not being loaded correctly.

As a general rule, the first thing to do with any mysterious error message is to feed it into Google. Google is your friend (except when it spies on you!)

Thanks for your response.
I tend to avoid Google for issues like this (and most other things) because it tends to be full of half truths and even rubbish, and rely on this forum which I assumed was specific and would provide advice from those that know. What's the point of this forum if we are supposed to go to Google?
I'll give that command a try next time the message appears at boot.
Are these boot messages that I see on the screen also written to a file, if so which file, where?

Cheers,
Terry

Here's the response to the suggestion, above...

[terry@localhost ~]$ systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service
● systemd-modules-load.service - Load Kernel Modules
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-modules-load.service; static; vendor preset: disabled
Active: active (exited) since Tue 2018-05-01 16:10:54 AEST; 2min 52s ago
Docs: man:systemd-modules-load.service(8)
man:modules-load.d(5)
Process: 514 ExecStart=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-modules-load (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Main PID: 514 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Tasks: 0 (limit: 4915)
CGroup: /system.slice/systemd-modules-load.service

May 01 16:10:54 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Started Load Kernel

Not obvious to me what the problem is, can anyone decipher?

Cheers,
Terry
