And that's your problem.
Nodules are kernel version specific. What works on one version of kernel
won't _necessarily_ work on the another {recent advances in module loading
excepted}.

1) The kernel version is identicle
2) The kernel versions are told to both expect the module to be there at
compile time.
Recompile the kernel on the Debian box to include the module you want,
then try it again.
