Comment 1 for bug 366678

I have exactly the same problem. I downloaded 9.04 Release and cannot boot from either a CD or USB. I've tried the 32bit iso, 64bit iso and also the minimum install iso (bunt onto a CD). I did seem to get more progress form the 64bit minimum install CD. It went through the the install process fine, but went to boot from the hdd after install I get the same error message above:

modprobe:FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/modules.dep: No Such file or directory

I have verified the CD(s) by booting on a laptop (Dell Latitude D630) and they work fine. This has to be a hardware related issue. NB: WinXP works fine on my hardware, so I am sure nothing is faulty.

There seem to be many other people who have had this problem with the beta releases and USB, but very few with this problem on the release version and a hdd.

I'm running:
Gigabyte GA-MA770-S3P with 4gig of RAM (2 sticks) an AMD X2 5000+ processor a 750gb hdd as the master on SATA channel 1.

Anyone have any ideas on a fix/workaround?
