Of course you will get a kernel panic... the driver is no longer loaded and thus you can't access the drive. I would suggest you boot off of the install cd, insmod the module from floppy like you did before, chroot into the previously installed version, copy the module from the floppy to the installed system, configure the module to load from initrd using mkinitrd.
