[systemd-devel] Load Kernel Modules failure after apt-get dist-upgrade

[Isla Finney]

I have a number of cifs mount points from linux to a NAS server.
After using apt-get dist-upgrade, I get Load Kernel Modules failed on start
up
The cifs-utils module is installed but does not seem to be recognised and I
can no longer see the mount points.

I've tried rebooting, purging (dpkg -P) and re-installing cifs-utils
(apt-get install), and editing the grub file then updating grub and
rebooting (it didn't change to the older kernel) and have run out of ideas
so any help appreciated.

Output that might help
