I don't know if this is related, but...

I've also noticed that /boot/kernel is added twice at module_path.
My boot loader-foo is non-existent but it always seemed sufficient
to just use:

        set module_path=/boot/kernel.old
        set bootfile=/boot/kernel.old/kernel

to recover from broken/buggy kernel builds, so I never asked.

Does this mean that now module_path will include the current kernel path
only once?
