Summary0005379: Kali netboot PXE fails to load boot screens properly
Description

When attempting to install Kali via PXE server the following error occurs:

Undef symbol FAIL: init_fpu
Failed to load libcom32.c32
Failed to load COM32 file /debian-installer/amd64/boot-screens/vesamenu.c32

Steps To Reproduce
  1. boot laptop
  2. Select network boot
  3. PXE server is detected
  4. Error occurs
Additional Information

I have verified that the files libcom32.c32 and vesamenu.c32 are present in the TFTP directory in the correct places.
I tried coping the libcom32.c32 file into the TFTP root directory but no change occurred.

This broke around 2 weeks ago.
I have synced our PXE with http.kali.org files multiple times since then without any luck.
This occurs with all models of laptop we are using (new and old).

Due to the age of the OS (Kali Moto [v1], Kali Safi [v2], Kali Rolling <= 2019.1), these legacy versions are no longer supported.
