Dear Maintainer,

I tried to install Sid (on a VirtualBox VM) following the instructions in [1], section "Use the Unstable "mini.iso" image.". I downloaded the specified ISO [2] using the nearest mirror, did the sha256 check, proceeded with all the various options without any error, network configuration also succeeded, then at the step "Download installer components" I got the error "No kernel modules found". The mirror is the default and recommended [3].

Upon investigation with the help of the users mailing list it turns out that the file that the wiki says we should use does not work.

This is what it says in the wiki:
"Download the "mini.iso" for your location and CPU architecture located here: Debian mirrors under debian/dists/unstable/main/installer-*/current/images/netboot/".
The above points to a mini.iso that is one year old and does not work.

The following works (at least in amd64), replacing the word "unstable" with "bullseye". It may also work replacing it with "stable" although I have not tried it.
"Download the "mini.iso" for your location and CPU architecture located here: Debian mirrors under debian/dists/bullseye/main/installer-*/current/images/netboot/".

This is a temporary issue that always happens after Linux kernel
updates and then gets automatically fixed after some time. In this case
there was also a cron job delay so it took a bit longer. The Debian
Installer team say this should be fixed in the next few hours.

PS: the debian-boot list would have been the place to report this.
