That's what I'm thinking, given the difference in size between the old
kernel's initrd and the new kernel's initrd - the old kernel's precompiled
initrd is significantly larger..

No entry exists for the module in modules.conf, and I've checked for
sata_sil in both old and new /lib/modules directories and it exists in both
kernel versions.
