Sorry for the delay, I finally tried this out on a Fedora Cloud Base
image, 36-1.5.

There, mbuto actually finds virtio_net (because module paths are
obtained via 'modprobe'), but it won't parse the dependencies, so the
module would fail to load -- I just shared the patch to fix that part.

If it still fails for you, could you add a "set -x", "set +x" pair
around kmod_add() and share the result? Thanks,
