Comments/Problems:
It seems like there is a mismatch between the net-installer kernel for
these arm64 boards and the kernel in the debian repos.
`uname -a` reveals the installer's version is 6.1.0-18 on the Trixie
installer. The installers for Bookworm and Bullseye failed identically,
but I do not have their versions.
The error:
No kernel modules found.... This is probably due to a mismatch
between the kernel used by this version of the installer and the kernel
version available in the archive.
This is identical to the difficulties expressed in the following:
