[SOLVED] Failed to insert 'vfs_monitor': Invalid argument

Hi, after latest upgrade, I'm getting "Failed to start Load Kernel Modules." on boot screen. If I put systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service I'm getting:

[pde@arch ~]$ sudo systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service
● systemd-modules-load.service - Load Kernel Modules

I don't know why is this happening..

Re: [SOLVED] Failed to insert 'vfs_monitor': Invalid argument

Is there more output in the journal for systemd-modules-load.service.  Please use code tags not quote tags for commands and their output.
Also see the man page mentioned in the systemctl output which contains the locations the config files will be read from and see which of them references vfs_monitor.

Re: [SOLVED] Failed to insert 'vfs_monitor': Invalid argument

Hi, I'm sorry, I've read the man docs but I couldn't found anything related to vfs_monitor. Also how can I see the journal you're talking about? Thanks.

Re: [SOLVED] Failed to insert 'vfs_monitor': Invalid argument

What is vfs_monitor? I don't find the module in the repos; it most likely needs rebuilt for whatever kernel you're running.

Re: [SOLVED] Failed to insert 'vfs_monitor': Invalid argument

@kefirle what about the requested output from the journal and did you look though /etc/modules-load.d/*.conf ,  /run/modules-load.d/*.conf and  /usr/lib/modules-load.d/*.conf for any reference to vfs_monitor?

Re: [SOLVED] Failed to insert 'vfs_monitor': Invalid argument

sorry guys, i`m newbie in arch-things
Bug Wrangler, i could not find any references to "vfs_monitor" except this topic
loqs,

/etc/modules-load.d/ is empty

/run/modules-load.d/ doesn`t exist

/usr/lib/modules-load.d/ contains anything.conf and bluez.conf.     
anything.conf content - vfs_monitor

Re: [SOLVED] Failed to insert 'vfs_monitor': Invalid argument

@kefirle and you get the same output from  `systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service` as dantopa?  Are you using arch or antergos?

Re: [SOLVED] Failed to insert 'vfs_monitor': Invalid argument

@kefirle how is the error on your system related to vfs_monitor?  Have you any output from your system containing vfs_monitor?

i will look at those error more precisely later. thank you for your support

Re: [SOLVED] Failed to insert 'vfs_monitor': Invalid argument

Hi kefirle, I see you are also using the latest version of Linux kernel and deepin desktop, me too. So the problem must be related to that

Re: [SOLVED] Failed to insert 'vfs_monitor': Invalid argument

@scimmia does 3a18ef5c1b3935cb05888fc37964321f7bd6231d seem the likely cause to you?
Edit:
replacing all references to sys_umount with ksys_umount and the module builds / loads.
