---Problem Description---
Trying to netboot install 18.04 fails with a kernel mismatch error between the repo and the netboot image.

   x No kernel modules were found. This probably is due to a mismatch      x

   x If you're installing from a mirror, you can work around this problem  x
   x by choosing to install a different version of Ubuntu. The install     x
   x will probably fail to work if you continue without kernel modules.    x
