One way to find the missing modules is to boot another distro (or maybe the installer has a lot more modules than the installed system) and look at dmesg. You might see something like:
scsi host0: ahci-sunxi
ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 mmio …
sunxi-mmc 1c12000.mmc: initialized, …
mmc0: host does not support reading read-only…
(That's from an arm board)
In that case, I added sunxi-mmc, ahci_sunxi and for some reason sd_mod. Note that naming is not consistent between guix and dmcsg, so check the filename in lib/modules of you linux-libre kernel package.
HTH!
