Public bug reported:
The "nbd" module is missing from linux-modules-XXX-kvm in bionic
root@ubuntu:~# /sbin/modprobe nbd max_part=16
modprobe: FATAL: Module nbd not found in directory /lib/modules/4.15.0-1021-kvm

nbd exists for the generic kernel, but not kvm.
root@ubuntu:~# find /lib/modules -name '*nbd*'
/lib/modules/4.15.0-34-generic/kernel/drivers/block/nbd.ko
root@ubuntu:~# dpkg-query -S
/lib/modules/4.15.0-34-generic/kernel/drivers/block/nbd.ko
linux-modules-4.15.0-34-generic:
/lib/modules/4.15.0-34-generic/kernel/drivers/block/nbd.ko
In fact, there are many more modules in the generic kernel:
root@ubuntu:~# dpkg-query -L linux-modules-4.15.0-1021-kvm | wc -l
514
root@ubuntu:~# dpkg-query -L linux-modules-4.15.0-34-generic | wc -l
1285
I checked if there is a linux-modules-extra for kvm and this kernel
version, but there is not - only for azure.
root@ubuntu:~# apt-cache search linux-modules-extra-4.15.0-1021
linux-modules-extra-4.15.0-1021-azure - Linux kernel extra modules for version
4.15.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
root@ubuntu:~#
There is a "linux-image-extra-virtual" package, but it's empty:
root@ubuntu:~# dpkg-query -L linux-image-extra-virtual
/.
/usr
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/linux-image-extra-virtual
/usr/share/doc/linux-image-extra-virtual/copyright
/usr/share/doc/linux-image-extra-virtual/changelog.gz
As a workaround, I expect I can use the generic kernel - but this won't
be optimised for kvm.
