Hmm... isn't "the standard 32 bit kernel" `linux-image-686-pae` ?
At least the `linux-image-686` package seems to describe itself as for use
only on those machines where `linux-image-686-pae` doesn't work.

Sometimes a blob is moved from `main` to `contrib` or `non-free` because
it was in `main` by mistake (tho I can't remember that happening
between Debian 10 and Debian 11).

Hmm... if it truly can't be mounted, then the system can't read
