Hello,
I'm sorry, I kept meaning to reply to your e-mail but kept getting 
sidetracked.

When you are booted up into that kernel, you need to do a

/sbin/depmod -a

That will get that kernel module loaded in so the kernel recognizes it 
and loads it at bootup.
As I look at the postinall scripts for my kernel module's, I'm seeing 
that they aren't all consistant.  They are supposed to do this for you, 
but it looks like for the r1000 it only does it if you are running the 
kernel that the module was made for ... which isn't going to be the case 
if you are doing an upgrade.
I'll work on fixing that.
Troy
