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

[Hontvári József Levente]

I used Pen Drive Linux's USB Installer on Windows to create the bootable
installation flash drive (using its Ubuntu server option).  I have
followed the instructions on this page:
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows

I wrote several trusty server  installer version onto the same flash
drive. Somehow that worked yesterday, but not today.  Today all of the
trusty versions I tried had the problem described in this issue. Now
finally, I used Startup Disk Creator on Ubuntu 14.04 to create the flash
drive, and that resulted in a working installation.

So this issue report should be closed.

Title:
  Installer: No kernel modules were found

Status in “ubuntu-meta” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
