One problem that I can think of immediately is that you are not loading the modules early enough in the boot process. What I would suggest is putting those modules into a new initrd. This means you need to get familiar with the idiosyncracies of the mkinitrd command, if you are not already. What would help also would be for you to decompress the existing initrd file that you have and mount it via the loop device(s). After you do that you can have a peek inside the initrd filesystem and see what exactly is going on. This also will let you see what modules are already there, thus giving you the opportunity to place those in your new initrd file. There are other ways to get that information, but IMO there's nothing like looking inside the initrd filesystem itself.
