I for one doubt the message you saw said there was no kernel in the
disk. If you posted exactly what you saw we could dispel that doubt.

Exact message as below
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 are installing from mirror, you can work around this problem by choosing to install different version of debian. The install will probably fail to work if you continue with out kernel modules.
Continue install without having kernel modules?
No
Yes.

When I try to take screenshot, it save /var/log/ folder. But when I tried to mount a partition, it says no such device exists.

When I tried to continue with yes for above option of no or yes,
I get stuck up in network setup.

I have following network adapters in my laptop.
