You have kernel and headers version 4.4.0.24.43 installed. Why are you booting 4.4.0.21?

I honestly have no idea. That was not a deliberate choice.

Looks like some kernel 4.4 funkiness. Unfortunately I haven't migrated to that yet on any of my systems so I can't test anything at the moment. I am guessing that aufs support ain't right. Welcome to the bleeding edge! Does your package manager have any variations of linux-headers-4.4.0-21-* as ava...

A few steps back it is, then. I'd check to see if the module is loaded with lsmod | grep panasonic_hbtn It did nothing. If that does nothing, then I'd go for a manual install of the module and check for errors. cd into the directory where you unzipped the files, then: make clean Okay, let's see... ...
