    My "/etc/modules folder" has three files:

    • DOTconfig...
    • modules.builtin...
    • modules.order...

    I DID insert a line into each of them with these three letters
    nbd

    After restarting, still the same error (The 'nbd' kernel is not loaded...)

    Thank you in advance!

    Which Linux distribution are you using? Typically there's a file named /etc/modules that contains the kernel modules. On my Debian system:

    # /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
    #
    # This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
    # at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.
    nbd
    

    There may be an alternative file or folder that does the same thing. I would expect any Linux distribution to have the nbd ("Network Block Device") kernel module to be available.

    The man pages for modprobe and lsmod may provide more insight on your system.

    All that said, the nbd module is only needed for virtual machine image support (used by the qemu-nbd utility), so you should be able to use the other parts of Rescuezilla even without that kernel module loaded.

    Thank you for your reply.
    I'm running Puppy Linux.
    There's no 'module' FILE in /ETC but 'module' FOLDER therefore I could not add a MODULE FILE like yours. Or, should I add it to the module FOLDER above?
