Summary0003279: Wrong kernel in installer package (netboot)
Description

When trying to install kali-rolling from netboot image the installation fails due to wrong kernel modules.

The installer reports this:
No kernel modules were found. This probably is due to a mismatch between the kernel used by this version of the installer and the kernel version available in the archive.
If you're installing from a mirror, you can work around this problem by choosing to install a different version of Debian. The install will probably fail to work if you continue without kernel modules.

Syslog message:
anna[3497]: WARNING **: no packages matching running kernel 4.4.0-kali1-amd64 in archives
