Hardware detection problems on laptops -- how to file a report?

[Joe Desbonnet]

I haven't tracked this down fully, but the kudzu error seems related to
/lib/modules/(kernel-version)/modules.dep being reduced to a zero byte
file (I don't know that caused that).

With the zero byte modules.dep file kudzu segfaults.
