systemd: systemd-modules-load.service failed

English Install/Boot/Login

hi everyone,

i freshly installed openSUSE 12.1 on a Lenovo Thinkpad T61 and beginning to discover systemd.
When i type:


systemctl

in one of the lines i see this:


systemd-modules-load.service                                     loaded failed failed        Load Kernel Modules

going deeper into discovery i typed


systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service

this tells me:


Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/systemd-modules-load.service; static)
	  Active: failed since Fri, 13 Jan 2012 14:07:15 +0100; 11min ago
	 Process: 499 ExecStart=/lib/systemd/systemd-modules-load (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
	  CGroup: name=systemd:/system/systemd-modules-load.service

What does that mean? What could be the reason for his failure. How can i determine what went wrong and how can i fix this problem?

I see this too. A little googling tells me one or more kernel modules cannot be loaded. Recompiled Vbox to see if that was it. No luck. Do you experience trouble you think is connected to this? Otherwise, if the machine is runninig OK, I’d say it’s an immaturity of systemd. From what I read it’s related to kernel 3.*

I see something similar but my understanding,

systemd only installs modules if needed, hence if nothing requires it - it isn’t,

then when needed they are loaded on the fly

the two failures I see are,


systemd-...s-load.service         loaded failed failed        Load Kernel Modules
xinetd.service                           loaded failed failed        LSB: Starts the xinet daemon. Be aware that xinetd doesn't start if no service is configured to run under it. 
                                                                                      To enable xinetd services go to YaST Network Services (xinetd) section.

anyway nothing dosn’t work

Frederic Crozat’s fix has work on 64bit OS for me. See bug report.
