Assuming you have a rootfs which doesn't depend on one of those modules,
or an initramfs, and a way to get the built modules into that initial
filesystem.  Automated test boot systems do not have that luxury: the
generation of initramfs is distro specific, and would be very large if
it were to include all possible modules.

Some distros need their initramfs statically configured between "mount
a local rootfs" and "mount a nfs rootfs" and can't be changed once
generated.
