Summary0003142: Netinst iso images doesn't works for Kali Rolling after kernel update
Description

I have found a strange issue. I have installed a kali vm using netinst mini.iso image without problems on Wednesday 9. But when I try to install another kali vm on Saturday 11, install process fail.

Every time problem is "not hard disk found". Maybe the problem is with kernel's update. I have tested the following iso images:

http://http.kali.org/dists/kali-rolling/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso
http://http.kali.org/dists/kali-rolling/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/gtk/mini.iso

.. and both fails.

P.D: Please, if you need to rebuild these iso images, remeber to add USB keyboard support like I have reported previously in https://bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=2563

Steps To Reproduce

Launch kali install using netinst iso images

It seems that the same problem occurs under VirtualBox:

I have tried in a physical machine to discard problems with my virtual environment, and same problem occurs: install process doesn't detect local harddisks.

I regenerated the mini.iso with the latest kernel:
654c80e6289859dc86a195faf1c5fdfe2222a42f kali-linux-mini-2016.1-amd64.iso

Sorry Raphael, but where are these new iso images? I don't see them in this places:

http://http.kali.org/dists/kali-rolling/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/

or

http://cdimage.kali.org/kali-2016.1/

Please be a bit patient, they have not yet been mirrored (the mirror runs 4 times a day)...

You can get them from repo.kali.org in the mean time:

Sorry Raphael,

Installation fails with these new netinst is image. When installer tries to download "Installation components", every time fails downloading libdevmapper1.02.1-udeb with the following message:

wget: bad address http.kali.org

Other installation components like debian-archive, grub-installer, etc has been downloaded without problems.

The mini.iso images have been updated another time. This time the problem was with the glibc update (2.21->2.22) and not with the kernel update.
