[Bug 1632675] Re: Lubuntu's alternate installer: no kernel modules were found

[Ian Bruntlett]

Happened to me, too - on both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures:-

I used Startup Disc Creator on a 64-bit Ubuntu laptop to write the isos
to USB flash drives.

When installing lubuntu on either of the 2 systems detailed below, I got
a fatal error.

This is what I tested, 32-bit :-
md5sum yakkety-alternate-i386.iso 
812a19293dadd4bdb0c6cb3d02489535  yakkety-alternate-i386.iso

Hardware details:-
Dell Dimension 8400 - herschel (for 32-bit Lubuntu testing)
Intel Pentium 4, 3GHz, 32-bit, 512MiB RAM, 74.5GiB hard drive, DVD RW optical drive, Ethernet connection.

I got an error message during install - "Load installer components from
CD - No kernel modules were found... etc". I first tested the 32-bit
system and I eventually gave up when I got a red screen complaining
about not finding network interfaces".

This is what I tested, 64-bit :-
md5sum yakkety-alternate-amd64.iso 
e142cff24db65349ce5582ba41d56149  yakkety-alternate-amd64.iso

Hardware details:-
Dell Inspiron 530 - franklin (for 64-bit Lubuntu testing)
Intel Core 2 6600, 2.4GHz, 64-bit; 2GiB RAM, 466GiB hard drive, DVD RW optical drive, Ethernet connection
I got the same error message about no kernel modules so I gave up on that install.

Title:
  Lubuntu's alternate installer: no kernel modules were found

Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Testing the Yakkety release candidate of Lubuntu alternate i386
  version:

  - rather early in the installer, in complains: 'no kernel modules were
  found ...'

  - at ctrl+alt+F4: no packages matching running kernel 4.8.0.22-generic
  in archive

  This is a new bug. The previous version of the release candidate
  worked. I copied the log files via a USB pendrive. I hope it is a
  complete set of log files.

  Edit: this bug affects the Lubuntu Yakkety alternate amd64 version
  too.
