This is because modinfo resides in the /sbin which is not in the PATH by

As qwell mentioned, without the hyphen after the su, then the path is not
set for the "root" user, and thus sbin will not be in the path.

I'm not sure what we're really supposed to do here as this feels like an
administrator problem, and not an application level issue.
