[Bug 1301586] [NEW] Installer: No kernel modules were found

[Hontvári József Levente]

Public bug reported:

Yesterday I installed trusty server (mostly) successfully, but today on the same server the installer displays a window with the title "Download installer components" and the message:
"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 Ubuntu. The install will probably fail to work if you continue without kernel modules."

The syslog contains this line:
anna[2231]: WARNING **: no packages matching running kernel 3.13.0-20-generic in archive

This happens with beta-2, the 2014-04-01 and the 2014-04-02 daily
versions.

It is also strange that the server installer asks me to select a mirror.
As far as I remember it never asked this.

I checked from the installer shell that the archive server is indeed
accessible. I tried the US and HU mirrors.
