Kubernetes version (use kubectl version):

Client Version: version.Info{Major:“1”, Minor:“5”, GitVersion:“v1.5.2”, GitCommit:“08e099554f3c31f6e6f07b448ab3ed78d0520507”, GitTreeState:“clean”, BuildDate:“2017-01-12T04:57:25Z”, GoVersion:“go1.7.4”, Compiler:“gc”, Platform:“linux/amd64”} Server Version: version.Info{Major:“1”, Minor:“5”, GitVersion:“v1.5.2”, GitCommit:“08e099554f3c31f6e6f07b448ab3ed78d0520507”, GitTreeState:“clean”, BuildDate:“2017-01-12T04:52:34Z”, GoVersion:“go1.7.4”, Compiler:“gc”, Platform:“linux/amd64”}

Environment:

• Cloud provider or hardware configuration: bare metal/packet.net
• OS (e.g. from /etc/os-release): Ubuntu 16.04
• Kernel (e.g. uname -a):kernel version: 4.4.0-47-generic #68
• Install tools: kubeadm
• Others:

What happened:

Setting up Kubernetes on bare metal servers (), and when I initialize the master with kube init the following error is returned:

failed to parse kernel config: unable to load kernel module "configs": output - "modprobe: FATAL: Module configs not found in directory /lib/modules/4.4.0-47-generic\n", err - exit status 1

Proposed Solution: This is fixed by running:

apt-get install linux-image-$(uname -r)

But maybe the missing mods should be added? @lukemarsden
