When a new kernel ABI propagates to testing then the installer is invalidated until the next installer release, which may not follow for some time depending on schedules etc. The workaround during such periods is to use the daily installer builds from http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/ .

Bug#774131: Missing kernel modules (mini.iso / Jessie / amd64)
Hello Ben You're using an old netboot image and this failure is expected. Thanks for your reply. I exactly supposed the same issue (obsoleted mini.iso). The actual problem is not a developement issue, it's an issue that some folders on the official FTP sources are not updated. For example the folder http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ (same on any other mirror) still contains the obsolete mini.iso Note: Two years ago when Squeeze was the current stable release and Wheezy was the testing release, I always found an updated mini.iso so probably something is wrong in the FTP server update process concerning the testing release. Current temporary workaround by myself: https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ points to the larger netinst files which seem to work correctly. Thanks for forwarding this to those guys who manage the FTP repository.

Bug#774131: Missing kernel modules (mini.iso / Jessie / amd64)
Package: Installer (mini.iso) Version: 02-Oct-2014 09:01 (Jessie) Severity: important When I try to install a Debian testing version using http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso I always get an error message about missing kernel modules as shown at http://beilagen.dreael.ch/Diverses/Details_Debian_8_Jessie_29141229/Jessie_mini_iso_Fehler_Kernelversion.png When I try to continue without kernel modules then the setup process cannot continued on the installation target selection: http://beilagen.dreael.ch/Diverses/Details_Debian_8_Jessie_29141229/Jessie_mini_iso_Folgefehler_keine_HD.png This error still appears when using a primary mirror as installation source. I believe there was done a kernel version change in the meantime without updating mini.iso accordingly so simply recompose mini.iso would fix this issue. Note: "uname -a" reports 3.16-2-amd64 as kernel version.
