Is the module actually loaded when you get into the busybox shell?
Try 'lsmod' or 'cat /proc/modules' to check. If it's not loaded, try
'modprobe esp', make sure that it's loaded, and exit busybox shell to
continue the boot. If it is, does anything related to esp show up in
the 'dmesg' output?
Best regards.
