Summary0000343: The minimal iso image should contain the kernel package.
DescriptionAlmaLinux-8.7-x86_64-minimal.iso.manifest shows the following packages :

/Minimal/Packages/kernel-core-4.18.0-425.3.1.el8.x86_64.rpm
/Minimal/Packages/kernel-headers-4.18.0-425.3.1.el8.x86_64.rpm
/Minimal/Packages/kernel-modules-4.18.0-425.3.1.el8.x86_64.rpm
/Minimal/Packages/kernel-modules-extra-4.18.0-425.3.1.el8.x86_64.rpm
/Minimal/Packages/kernel-tools-4.18.0-425.3.1.el8.x86_64.rpm
/Minimal/Packages/kernel-tools-libs-4.18.0-425.3.1.el8.x86_64.rpm

It is missing kernel-425.3.1.el8.x86_64.rpm.

$ rpm -qR kernel-4.18.0-425.3.1.el8 | grep 4.18.0-425.3.1.el8
kernel-core-uname-r = 4.18.0-425.3.1.el8.x86_64
kernel-modules-uname-r = 4.18.0-425.3.1.el8.x86_64

$ rpm -qR kernel-core-4.18.0-425.3.1.el8 | grep 4.18.0-425.3.1.el8
(returns nothing)

$ rpm -q --whatrequires kernel-modules-uname-r | grep 4.18.0-425.3.1.el8
kernel-4.18.0-425.3.1.el8.x86_64

$ rpm -q --whatrequires kernel-core-uname-r | grep 4.18.0-425.3.1.el8
kernel-4.18.0-425.3.1.el8.x86_64

As a result, if you install from the minimal iso, kernel-modules will bot be installed. This might lead to missing some drivers as seen in this forum post:
