Lubuntu alternate install fails to install kernel

[Erick Brunzell]

I was just testing the daily Lubuntu alternate iso 20110911-i386 (I had also tried 20110910) to see if we still had a broken software sources UI as I tried to describe in posts 16 thru 19 at bug 835961, but I'm unable to complete the installation because I get a warning that "the installer cannot find a suitable kernel package to install".

Note: I had only brought that up ATM because Julien Lavergne had mentioned upcoming release meetings, and I'd been too busy to properly follow up on that.

But with Beta 2 coming up in only 10 days I thought I should report this all the same. Please see the attached photos.

Just taking a lunch break and realized that I'd not mentioned this was not done in a VM but rather on this hardware choosing manual installation to my sdc12:
