I carried out an -Syu on my eeepc a couple of weeks ago. Unusually, this resulted in all kinds of error messages at boot time. most of which I've hunted down and squashed. The machine has functioned correctly throughout.
However, there is one message which I cannot find. When the system boots, the on-screen command line output displayed before the desktop is loaded (lxde) shows a "Login:" prompt, which is followed immediately by the display of an error message
FATAL: Module and not foundI can't find this in any of the logs, so I don't know where to begin. Module "and"??!!
Any advice would be very welcome.
Thanks in advance

Check /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf and friends.

Thanks for your quick replies.
/etc/modprobe.d only contains blacklist.conf and modprobe.conf. I have checked /etc/modprobe.d/ modprobe.conf for typos, but without success. It just contains
options snd-pcsp index=2Looks like I'm going to be hunting for a needle in a haystack! The strange thing is that I'm not aware of making any changes myself that could have caused this.
Thanks again for your help. Any further suggestions would be most welcome.

I have just discovered that this message is being generated by UFW.
I have it in my Daemons array.
A manual start (or restart) also fails with the same message.
Strangely, when accessing UFW through GUFW, all seems to be normal.
"ufw status" reports "active". Curious!
**EDIT**
I finally solved the problem by completely removing ufw and gufw (including ALL configuration files), then re-installing. I never did find out what had been corrupted, or how, but - hey - life's too short!!
Many thanks to everyone for their help and support
