I now have a test image that, using the patch from LP: #2037015, appears to fix the installer issue when booting from USB. If volunteers are interested in testing the image, I've made it available at:

  https://zoidberg.waveform.org.uk/images/ubuntu-24.04-preinstalled-desktop-arm64+raspi.img.xz

The SHA256 of the image, for verification purposes, is b2718d9005a5ea6486b8512b6cf3974ce48ef879d1232a6dc88b2ccaa1dc3390

I've tested booting from two SD cards on both models and both appear fine; I've also tested USB boot on the Pi 4 (which worked happily) and tomorrow I should be able to test NVMe on a Pi 5. However, given the variability displayed by this bug already, the wider the variety of hardware tested, the better.

Naturally, no workarounds should be in place when testing (leave the config.txt "as is"). If things work, please report the model and memory size of your Pi (e.g. Pi 4 4GB) and what you're booting from (SD card, SSD, NVMe). make+model of the boot media would be useful too, but largely to judge if we're covering a reasonable range of hardware.

If things don't work, please report the above information, plus where in the procedure the crash occurred. If possible, re-flash and try to confirm if the crash occurs in the same place each time (we've already seen cases in this bug where "sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't").
