Per link: You can display detailed information about a kernel module by running the modinfo <module_name> command.

I was leaning towards dmesg as well until I read this article https://kb.meinbergglobal.com/kb/driver_software/driver_software_for_linux/linux_driver_package_-_troubleshooting

modinfo does provide information about a specific module. dmesg provides kernel information during startup. The startup part of the question makes me consider dmesg as an answer.

Yeah, I think if a module isn't working after reboot, dmesg will give you better luck in troubleshooting than modprobe
