The problem with the modules is most probably the list /etc/modules - it 
defines which modules you want loaded at boot time.  Edit that list (I 
just cleared it out and said 'all') and that should change your 
problems.

As for the uname, your new kernel wasn't installed - just copying it over 
the old one doesn't do it, because LILO has to take the kernel and use it 
at boot time.  Mount your SUSE drive, put the new Debian kernel there 
with the SUSE ones, and setup your lilo.conf to install the new kernel 
for Debian and you should be ok.
