Hi

this is just from memory - so please take it with a grain of salt:

Essentially yes. I think you need to chroot into your NFS-root where the new 
kernel was installed (or the module copied to). In there you need to run 
update-initramfs -k <kernelversion> -u -v

-v should tell you if the module made it into the initrd. If not you might 
need to tinker with the modules file of initramdfs.
