?????????????????? [!!] Download installer components ???????????????????
?                                                                       ?
? 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.    ?
?                                                                       ?
? Continue the install without loading kernel modules?                  ?
?                                                                       ?
?     <Go Back>                                       <Yes>    <No>     ?
?                                                                       ?
