You could insure this by reviewing the configuration for your initrd builder (there are several now) to include ALL modules. That might make for a big initrd, but would get you booted up. You could then reconfigure that initrd to the new system later. another option would be to move the disk and boot a live-cd first, then chroot into the system and rebuild the initrd. you could also then fix up any mountpoints that might change as well.
