etc/modules doesn't exist in openSUSE

   ls -w1 /etc/mod*
modprobe.conf
modprobe.conf.local
modprobe.d:
<here is listing of files in modprobe.d directory>

The recommendation is to put your modules in /etc/modprobe.conf.local, but 
the /etc/init.d/boot.local works too for simple cases like this one.

Now I know what happened, I'm not so sure that driver reload would work. 
Maybe. 

There must be some trace in /var/log/messages what happened when command mount 
tried to mount that disk, and that is what you still have ;-)
