Most likely.
/sbin/modprobe is invoked (or rather, would be invoked if found) when a
DASD should be configured for which no corresponding module has been loaded.
However, within initrd all modules are loaded statically in a previous
step. So if modprobe should be invoked this indicates that the module
has not been loaded, which in turn means the modules is not copied into
the initrd.
So recreating the initrd with 'mkinitrd; zipl' should fix it.
