[SOLVED]Unable to load kernel modules via modprobe.

Recently, I've been unable to load kernel modules via modprobe. It tells me that it is unable to find the modules.

Output:
modprobe: FATAL: Module joydev not found in directory /lib/modules/5.11.4-arch1-1

I chose to cd to the directory and it told me it the entire 5.11.4 directory didn't exist but a 5.11.6 directory did.

Is there a way to fix modprobe so it tries to look in the right directory?

Re: [SOLVED]Unable to load kernel modules via modprobe.

Have you rebooted since your last kernel update?

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan
