I found this simple workaround with a search,
https://github.com/anbox/anbox-modules/issues/49,
recommending using an older kernel,
or this more involved workaround,
https://github.com/anbox/anbox-modules/issues/51
It seems that the kernel has to be recompiled with the two modules
needed for anbox built in so they no longer need to be loaded as
external.

That pointed to this arch thread about the issue,
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=256552
that has practical tips for getting it working if you have previously
used externally loaded modules.

In Fedora, these are the instructions for building a custom kernel,
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel

Maybe someone else will respond with an easier method.
