Of course you will get a kernel panic... the driver is no longer loaded and
thus you can't access the drive.
I would suggest you boot off of the install cd, insmod the module from floppy
like you did before, chroot into the previously installed version, copy the
module from the floppy to the installed system, configure the module to load
from initrd using mkinitrd.
Anyone see a problem with this?
