Loadable kernel modules in Linux are loaded (and unloaded) by the modprobe command. They are located in /lib/modules and have had the extension . ko (“kernel object”) since version 2.6 (previous versions used the .o extension). The lsmod command lists the loaded kernel modules.
How do you check which modules are loaded in Linux?
To list all currently loaded modules in Linux, we can use the lsmod (list modules) command which reads the contents of /proc/modules like this.
How do I see which kernel modules are installed?
Check of Current Kernel Version
To check which kernel is currently running on your system, use the uname command with the “release” or -r switch. This will output the kernel version (release) number.
