      Hi There,

      I am new to retropie but have searched long and hard before posting.

      Hardware- Pi 2 model B
      Software - Pre-installed from Retropi website
      Devices connected- F10 usb controller and KBD
      Error Message:
      Failed To Start Load Kernal Modules.
      See 'systemctl status sustemd-modules-load.services' for details

      My Pi boots into command line but I was not able to use any control or KBD but Putty SSH was able to allow me to see the systemctl status :
      ā— systemd-modules-load.service - Load Kernel Modules
      Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/systemd-modules-load.service; static)
      Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sun 2017-01-22 20:29:14 UTC; 39min ago
      Docs: man:systemd-modules-load.service(8)
      man:modules-load.d(5)
      Process: 103 ExecStart=/lib/systemd/systemd-modules-load (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
      Main PID: 103 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

      Hopefully the images load as the only two screens I get.

      I have tried Sudo apt-get update, upgrade etc. So im stuck.

      The last thing I did was update all experimental packages from Source. It stopped stating it could not locate a certain file which I did not take a photo or write down. After reboot then this hole fiasco.

      There was no guide I was following just updating everything in Retropie before testing out roms I have found. 0_1485121502841_20170123_062953.jpg 0_1485121526099_systemctl.png

        I had one more search and found https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=143806

        but after hashing out the modulels in that list to try and boot, it now boots but still nothing so I have reinstalled retropie and will be loading updates again but not experimental packages from source.

          @soullessninja89 Is your SD card genuine and compatible?

            It is, retro pie was working perfectly until i initiated external packages from source update, then the issue happened. Right now I am reinstalling Retro from scratch and start again.

                @BuZz I have had no issues with the SD card, REinstalled Retropi and its running smooth, the last thing I did was install all experimental packages from source and bam I get the kernal issue. So Im leaving that install section out, and so far ( same SD CARD) im still able to use use retropi and the roms/emus I have put on, I made this post for the fact that it happened after installing all from source and I did not want to go back to the start and do it all over again, which I have now done "sadface"

                  @soullessninja89 shouldn't be related. If your SD card is bad, it might not be noticeable until do do some more io, and install stuff etc.
