I tried the release. The install bug still remains. These are my experiences with RC and release:

* RC Xubuntu (normal install) -> Fails. Symptoms as reported by first poster

* RC Xubuntu (with "re-insert sd card"-workaround) -> Works. The "FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules..." appears on every boot but system appears to work fine.

* RC Xubuntu(with "exit initram"-workaround) -> Fails.

* RC Ubuntu (any workaround) -> Fails. I had multiple attempts using either of the workarounds. Never got this iso to install.

* Release Ubuntu (normal install) -> Fails:
  - After the initial modprobe-error, this is what I get:

* Release Ubuntu ("re-insert SD card"-workaround) -> Works
    -After the initial modprobe- and powernow-message, this is what I get:
    Loading please wait
        <( I remove and insert the SD card)>
    sd: 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache write through
    sd: 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache write through

    (It then proceeds to normal boot. As with RC Xubuntu, after install to harddisk the modprobe-message is shown on every boot but system appears to be fine..)

Choosing persistent storage or discard data when creating usb-disk doesn't make any difference in any of the installs. Neither does it make a difference whether I format the SD-card before create the USB-disk or not.

Let me know if there is any other information I can provide..
