yes modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'wireguard': Invalid argument
hagbard [9:44 AM]
I have the august image, no issue. Very strange. exec: sudo bash to become root then do a 'grep wireguard /lib/modules/uname -r/modules.dep'
brb
msbone [9:45 AM]

root@vyos01:/home/vyos# grep wireguard /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.dep

hagbard [9:53 AM]
ok, so the module is there. (extra/wireguard.ko) Doe 'modinfo -v wireguard' show anything?
no -v just modinfo wireguard

https://downloads.vyos.io/rolling/current/amd64/vyos-1.2.0-rolling%2B201809120337-amd64.iso seems to be a non-functional build. When I boot it from scratch it drops me only into initramfs. @msbone did an upgrade on hist system from 1.2.0-rolling+201808171757. I advised him to the use the is o from Sept. 10 which I tested for it's functionality. I see if I can find out what happened with the latest build. IT' a kernel module load issue I can reproduce already when booting the iso.

Last clean version is: https://downloads.vyos.io/rolling/current/amd64/vyos-1.2.0-rolling%2B201809101921-amd64.iso

@msbone used the version I mentioned and confirmed functionality. We have to find out what's wrong with the kernel build https://ci.vyos.net/job/vyos-kernel/142/

VyOS Kernel was rebuild with retpoline enabled https://phabricator.vyos.net/T819. As Kernel modules sometimes depend heavily on the unterlaying ABI (Application Binary Interface) this will break if the module is not rebuild.

Seems like I broke it. We should make vyos-wireguard a downstream jenkins peojekt to vyos-kernel so it is rebuild automatically.

Retpoline is a crucial change so extending the kernel module information (can be enabled in menuconfig) would not have covered this I think.
