I can do that but I would need to adjust %modprobe-wrapper for `kernel-loader-module` to work without the crutch at 8c88e24229 since the service gets its modprobe from "/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe". > After the core-updates merge, we can do a larger 'staging' round that > updates the default 'kmod'. > > I wonder if we should patch eudev to use > /run/current-system/profile/bin/ instead of /gnu/store/...kmod/bin so > that we can update kmod without triggering a huge rebuild. eudev uses libkmod to to use it's kmod feature so I'm not sure how to do this.
