 Thanks for the report, this was already fixed in git; I'm only waiting
 for some confirmation one way or the other from release team to push.

 The fix I did some days ago in git (well I rewrote most of the init
 script) is to use "[ -f /proc/modules ] || return" in load_modules():
    load_modules() {
        [ -f /proc/modules ] || return
