Summary	0002049: kali linux not installing...
Description	hello, im sorry im new to the linux world. i downloaded a kali linux i386 installer from the official site and when i tried it live, it works fine. so i decided to install it on the HDD. first i tried to use the graphical install because its easier for me to understand but it stops at 'detect network hardware'. so i rebooted and tried on the text-based install but it stopped halfway into the installation. so, as a last resort i tried the live installer but it returned an error that says: Kernel version mismatch Live system kernel and installer kernel don't match The installer can only be used if the kernel version of the live system (3.14-kali1-686-pae) and of the installer (3.14-kali1-486) are the same. Please reboot with the correct kernel (3.14-kali1-486). thanks in advance, and sorry for the problem. :(
Additional Information	my laptop's a bit old, i just tried installing linux for it to become usable again... Samsung RV413 2G RAM AMD E-2 Vision Hitachi 500 GB SSD maybe because of the hardware?
