It might help to simply switch to a terminal (via ctrl+alt+1) and 'modprobe'
from there:
First make the kernel print all message to this console with
echo 8 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk
then call modprobe. You should be able to see the last message before the system
freezes.
I had to us a smaller font ( fb doesn't seem to work for me ) to see the
important parts:
setfont /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/alt-8x8.gz

Serial console? Being sure you really see all messages before the box
goes freeze is certainly helpful in that situation.
I can recompile with printk's in the module, I just don't know where
to put them.
The probe function is a good place for starters. Then move/add
printks until you've found the place. Yea, that can take alot
trial-error-reboot cycles ...
