That was a good point, that made me re-download the latest netboot tar ball from upstream and extracted the kernel from that, made comparison against the new and existing kernels. although both were dated same timestamps/sizes, but they actually differ! Went ahead and ran an actual install, ta-da, the kernel matched and it went through~! That was awesome! Thanks for the hint and tips, very much appreciated!!!
