RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description sputnik 2019-07-24 11:22:58 UTC 
I get this "[FAILED] Failed start Load Kernel Modules. See 'systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service' for details." on boot. I only got one module loaded on boot, that is nf_nat_ftp. And it loads alrite, but that message on boot doesn't feel right. However i can get rid of that message. If /etc/modules-load.d directory is empty while installing a [new] kernel, then no message appears on booting that kernel, even if i load modules by moving nf_nat_ftp.conf back to /etc/modules-load.d directory before reboot. Seems like install script looks for the contents of that directory while installing a kernel and does something wrong.

It's easy to reproduce:
# echo 'nf_nat_ftp' > /etc/modules-load.d/nf_nat_ftp.conf

Then just install a kernel, either the new one, or a previous one. Then reboot and boot the newly installed kernel.

# yum install 3.10.0-957.21.2.el7
# shutdown -r now

You don't even need the module (and it's dependencies, if any) to be loaded while installing the kernel. So i ain't sure if this is a bug of systemd, kernel install script or systemd-modules-load.service file, but it bothers to move contents of /etc/modules-load.d directory to some other place everytime before installing a new kernel if you wanna clean boot, without any error messages.
