Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 kernel-image-2.6.15-15-386-di (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
I have a setup where I loop-mount the install ISO and have symlinks
pointing to the netboot kernel and initrd inside the ISO. I use this to
netboot a VMware session.

The ISO image is Dapper Flight4 Kubuntu.

The error I encounter is that after booting, it gets as far as
configuring the network with DHCP, then it complains that:

"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."

This is a regression from Flight3 where this worked fine.
