Sorry to say that I tried to install from images from both May and June of this year, obviously 20.04. Both failed with the same crash. And, like you, I need nvidia and other specific drivers.
Even if you can get past the crash, other changes that have been made since mid-September are wreaking havoc also:
-there are problems with the new compression algorithm for initramfs
-there are issues with startup hanging with a spinning Ubuntu logo, forcing hard power down
-there are issues with startup going into suspend as soon as the login password is entered

I too hope that this gets solved soon.
