Research direction
Read the MODPROBE macro near line 11 of packages/gdrcopy.spec, then inspect the modprobe configuration generated around lines 203–212. Check how the SLES-specific option is represented and run the relevant packaging or install checks. Done means the generated SLES configuration includes --allow-unsupported-modules so the module can load on reboot.

Description
The .spec file defines this MODPROBE macro to work on systems like SLES that require it for out of tree modules:
The modprobe config file created on SLES still hard codes /sbin/modprobe, causing the module load to fail on reboot
The modprobe config file should include --allow-unsupported-modules on SLES.
