The newest update netboot package doesn't appear to be updated or working properly. This was working last week before the newest update. Previous instructions to replace the initrd.gz and linux files (and/or the entire netboot directory) fails.

I last used this to image machines Monday this week, but I believe the netboot files have been replaced since I last did the work, because my process fails.

Note: Additionally, even with the working files last week, there was a strange issue where the machine wouldn't finish loading properly on a SATA drive. However, it worked fine imaging NVME's. Now it errors saying Kernel mismatch.

I was running the previous month's spin of Kali, the one from December, but updating to January's latest spin has broken our process.

This is the exact error I get when the initrd.gz and linux files are not in line with the distro on the mirrors, which happened the last time the monthly update came out. Last month, I simply copied the linux and initrd.gz files from https://http.kali.org/kali/dists/kali-rolling/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/amd64/ to the directory my PXE server points to boot from. This month, this same fix doesn't work, leading me to question whether or not the Netboot directory/boot files were included in the month's change.

The instructions I'm speaking of are our internal instructions to correct the boot files after the kernel updates.

Please let me know if I can provide more information.

Thanks!
