Erro no módulo de carregamento do kernel durante a inicialização

Estou usando o ubuntu 15.10 em um laptop da dell. Funciona bem, mas recentemente eu tenho um tempo de inicialização lento (~ 1 minuto). Então, eu estava olhando e ao ler o /var/log/boot.logarquivo, vejo o seguinte erro:

[FAILED] Failed to start Load Kernel Modules.
See 'systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service' for details.

Com todos os outros serviços (exceto tftpd) funcionando perfeitamente. Aqui está a saída completa:

qual é exatamente o erro, isso afeta meus tempos de inicialização e como deve ser corrigido?

O que é "Falha ao iniciar o Carregamento de Módulos do Kernel"?

O Systemd lê os arquivos no diretório /etc/modules-load.dpara os módulos carregarem com este serviço. Se os módulos especificados nesses arquivos não estiverem presentes no /lib/modulesdiretório para a inicialização do kernel, o erro 'falha ao iniciar o carregamento dos módulos do kernel' será exibido. Aqui está o conteúdo do /etc/modules-load.ddiretório dels -lA

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 119 Apr 20 17:01 cups-filters.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  10 May 12 10:39 modules.conf -> ../modules

Capture os detalhes de journalctl

No meu caso, aqui está a parte relevante de journalctl:

May 27 06:36:50 zanna-X205TA systemd-modules-load[176]: Failed to find module 'lp'
May 27 06:36:50 zanna-X205TA systemd-modules-load[176]: Failed to find module 'ppdev'
May 27 06:36:50 zanna-X205TA systemd-modules-load[176]: Failed to find module 'parport_pc'

Se você journalctl | grep modulesver quais não foram carregadas

No meu caso, /etc/modules(apontado pelo link simbólico) estava vazio, mas o cups-filters.confarquivo continha as referências aos módulos que estavam lançando erros:

# Parallel printer driver modules loading for cups
# LOAD_LP_MODULE was 'yes' in /etc/default/cups
lp
ppdev
parport_pc

Fazendo a mensagem desaparecer

Meu laptop nem tem portas paralelas, sem surpresa, então não preciso desses módulos. De qualquer forma, eles não puderam ser carregados porque não estavam no/lib/modules/$(uname -r)

Comentei essas três linhas (colocando #no início da linha na frente do nome do módulo para cada uma) e a mensagem de erro desapareceu.

Não notei nenhuma diferença no tempo de inicialização.

TL; DR

• verifique journalctlpara ver quais módulos estão falhando ao carregar
• leia os arquivos /etc/modules-load.dpara procurar referências a esses módulos
• comente as linhas que especificam esses módulos para que o erro desapareça (mas faça uma cópia de backup antes de editar)
• reinicie para ver se isso faz alguma diferença no tempo de inicialização
