Yes, exactly.  The issue is well-known, reported and discussed in bug
#749991 [1].  There is nothing di-netboot-assistant can do about it.

I recommend to try the daily image, for me that worked a few days ago
(201904040, but that seems not always to be the case [2]) or to wait
for an updated debian installer release.

Best regards,

  Andi

Bug#926795: di-netboot-assistant: Unable to install Debian Buster amd64 from d-i n-a at 2019-04-10 generated boot-file

2019-04-10 Thread Ralf Moll
Package: di-netboot-assistant
Version: 0.60
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

the "Debian testing (amd64) image 20190410", generated by

di-netboot-assistant install stable testing

shows after answering a few installer querstions the following dialog:

"[!!] 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 Debian. The Install will
probably fail to work if you continue without kernel modules.

Continue the Install without loading kernel modules?

  "

No matter what I select, the installer will fail.

Seems kernel and mirror are out of sycn...

Thanks for any hint

Ralf
