Geez Louise! I haven't worked on this stuff professionally since 12/01.
And Over the decades I developed an excellent short-term memory.
... thinking ...
In the past I always made everything loadable modules because the target
hardware was constantly changing. So I always had something like this in
the modules.conf (at that time).
I really can't tell you how to find out. But in
/lib/modules/<your kernel>
there's a bunch of module* files. Man modules.dep and depmod is at least
a starting point.
Now, you mention a local repo. Does your /lib/modules have an entry for
the latest kernel? If not, maybe you just need a "depmod -a" run? If the
dates aren't already matching when you transitioned to 5.1, same?
My sata_via appears in modules.{alias|pcimap|dep} and shows a dependency
on it by sg_mod (a necessary module AFAIK). Since yours is usb based, I
would expect that a similar line ending with something that says either
usb* or *_<your chipset here (replace * with real values) would be
needed.
