Please see my reply to another bug report:
  https://bugs.debian.org/903047#17

There are no guarantees on weeklies, we're not rebuilding debian-installer
each and every time the kernel version gets bumped. Using a released alpha
would work best.

Same thing happens when using my own Debian buster or sid distribution
installer made with simple-cdd.

Please fix the kernel that the installer uses.

Version: 20180610
Severity: grave

I tried to install Debian Testing on VirtualBox using a weekly build of Debian 
Installer. Everything went OK until the disk partitioning stage. In this 
stage, installer warned me that the kernel doesn't support LVM and I should 
load lvm-mod. Then, I didn't found an option to format a partition as Ext4 
filesystem. Automatical installation allowed to create an Ext4 root partition, 
but after writing the changes to disk it says something like "cannot mount /".
