You can use the method explained here to mount the failed system and copy the radeon module into it: https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/archive/42.1/startup/html/book.opensuse.startup/cha.trouble.html#sec.trouble.data.recover.rescue.access Then, after doing chroot as explained there, you can do depmod and mkinitrd as described before. I did it that way and it worked.
