I keep seeing this in installer logs, back to jessie.
Aug 2 01:52:11 main-menu[193]: (process:224): modprobe: invalid option -- 'l'
I rated this normal rather than minor because the way it is working
now the is_available() function always returns 1 (failure)
My suggestion is to use modinfo instead.
This will return multiline output inside the quotes but
a couple of tests suggests that is ok.
It does fail with some modules (nvidia), not sure if we care.
