Thanks for the tips. After spending a lot of time on and off for a few
weeks trying to keep /lib/modules on its own partition, it just did not
work right; the system was scrapped and rebuilt per the trivial solution
with /lib/modules on the root partition. Now it works as expected.
A good explanation as to why /lib/modules cannot be a separate partition
would be nice, but after learning learning the hard way again it stays
on the root partition going forward.
The kernel needs to load modules to boot fully. If mount hasn't run by
the time the kernel needs a module, you have a problem ...
Even worse, if mount needs the kernel to load a module, you're stuffed ...
