I have tried:

modprobe ipv6

Which returns

modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:557 kmod_search_moddep() could not open moddep file '/lib/modules/4.4.21-v7+/modules.dep.bin'

It has worked until today after I rebooted my pi. I ran an update yesterday which might have caused it.

/lib/modules only contins the following folders:

  • 4.4.38+
  • 4.4.38-v7+
  • 4.4.43+
  • 4.4.43-v7+

Does anyone know how to fix it? I would very much like to be able to resume serving ipv6

Additional info:

  • rpi-update = Your firmware is already up to date
  • apt-get update/upgrade = No effect
  • It might be caused by running the pi off of an external disk. uname -a shows 4.4.21-v7+ Sep 15, but I just updated the firmware today

I got it to work. I not entirely sure how. I think it's because I had a line in fstab:

/dev/mmcblk0p1 /boot/firmware vfat defaults 0 2

But I'm not 100% sure so I don't know if I should post it as an answer.

"In normal circumstances there is NEVER a need to run rpi-update as it always gets you to the leading edge firmware and kernel and because that may be a testing version it could leave your RPi unbootable". https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=916911#p916911

Assuming ipv6 broke after running rpi-update restore from your backup.
