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:

No problem at all, that can happen to anyone! :)
