[Solved] The uvcvideo module will not load

Hello,

I think I must be missing something obvious.  The uvcvideo module seems to be compiled into the kernel:

computer# ls -R /lib/modules/4.1.6-1-ARCH/kernel | grep -i uvc
uvc
/lib/modules/4.1.6-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/media/usb/uvc:
uvcvideo.ko.gz
usb_f_uvc.ko.gz
computer#

However, it does not show up in lsmod:

computer# lsmod | grep -i uvc                                 
computer# 

Running modprobe doesn't help:

computer# modprobe -a uvcvideo
computer# lsmod | grep -i uvc                                 
computer# 

What am I missing here?  I'm using the stock kernel (version 4.0.7-2).  journalctl and dmesg don't contain any entries about this.

Thanks!

This turned out to be forgetting to reboot after a kernel upgrade.
