Comments/Problems:
The current Debian 11.4 netboot image does not load linux kernel file when 
attempting to run a PXE netboot install. After selecting Install, the process 
hangs at "Loading debian-installer/amd64/linux..." and never states "Ok"; after 
several minutes the machine transitions to a black screen with a message 
stating the boot process failed. The exact same machine and PXE servers were 
used with Debian 11.3 netboot without issue and swapping the linux and 
initrd.gz files with the 11.3 netboot files resolves the issue and allows the 
kernel to load, however, it then fails on mismatched modules due to the current 
debian-installer repo being updated for Debian 11.4. Need the netboot installer 
image to be updated with a loadable kernel and initrd.gz.
