On BusyBox I ran 'uname -a' and it told me I am running the debian-sid
kernel 5.10.0-8, built on 2021-07-28. This might be the reason for the
error message I got, "No kernel modules found". It is a very old
kernel. So perhaps the mini.iso was not built in a long while and got
out of date, or else the mirror is out of date. The mirror site says
the upload date is 31-Jul-2021 04:20. I looked at the German mirror
and it is the same date.

Any ideas? Anyway, this is not a big problem because there are two
other methods of installing sid, from the Stable iso and from the
Testing iso.
