Summary0003370: Wrong kernel in installer package (netboot)
Description

I had a working PXE boot net install of Kali 2016.1 Rolling yesterday morning. Yesterday afternoon I started getting the error:

/////
!! Download installer components
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 shows: "Jun 21 12:03:28 anna[3515]: WARNING **: no packages matching running kernel 4.5.0-kali1-amd64 in archive"

Uname from failing VM deployed after 20 June: Debian 4.5.2-1kali1
Uname from working VM deployed before 20 June: Debian 4.5.5-1kali1

Steps To Reproduce

I've cleared our squid proxy cache, I have commented out our proxy in the preseed file (confirmed by checking access.log), redownload net installer (which still pre-dates the issue), used mirrors archive. and http., tried a default netboot install with no customization. All resulted in the same error above.

I get the same error message. It seems to have concurred with the pushing of 4.6 to the repo yesterday.
