Linode doesn't provide /lib/modules/kernel-linode/modules.builtin, but
this shouldn't be a problem.


Why should that not be a problem if modules.builtin is missing?

In the case of Linode, they boot on a third party kernel which doesn't provide anything in /lib/modules/ because the kernel is not on the disk.

Another use case would be if you were to boot on a PXE kernel which has every of its modules built-in. You want to fail silently if /lib/modules/kernel/modules.builtin doesn't exist.


https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kbuild/kbuild.txt says, that
you really want that, if you don't want modprobe to not fail for builtin
modules.

Is loop builtin in your case?

Yes. Loop is builtin.
