I get the same error:

An error was returned while trying to install the kernel into
the target system.
      Kernel package: 'linux-generic'.

Which seems to be this error:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1717038

Try this to confirm:
alt-f2, enter
# in-target ping googgle.com
(no output, wait about 20 seconds or so for it to return to the prompt)
alt-f4 you should see:
