i suppose, it means the modules it wasn't able to compile, as the
module directory seems to exist.

the modules are includet in the kernel package. you seem to be missing
onde or more of the following:
1. a compiler or nessecary tools like make or the like check for gcc,
make and libc6 packages via 'dpkg -l |grep $package_name'
2. kernel headers. check for a directory named /usr/include and whats in
it. there should be plenty of files ending in .h. if they are not there,
install the kernelheader package that fits your kernel version.
'dpkg -l |grep kernel' should show you all kernel related packages that
are installed.
hth.
