You need to use 20150422+deb8u3, or more specificall whatever the "current"
symlink currently points to, otherwise you will find a mismatch between the
installer kernel and what is in the network archive, which results in
things like what you are seeing.
It looks like all of your logs are with the 20150422 version, please repeat
using 20150422+deb8u3 and supply those logs instead.
You mention you didn't have success with +deb8u3, but was it the same
issue?

This 3.16.7-ckt9-2 is what lead me to conclude these logs were from
20150422 and not +deb8u3, the latter would be ...-clk20+deb8u<??>.
