This message is seen pretty consistently on the console during install of latest vivid daily builds, using a preseed or not.

It is related to module loading somehow.  I happen to notice this, while
in the installer looking at a different problem:

~ # modinfo somemissingmodule
libkmod: kmod_lookup_alias_from_builtin_file: could not open builtin file '/lib/modules/3.18.0-9-powerpc64-smp/modules.builtin.bin'
modinfo: ERROR: Module somemissingmodule not found.

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         36162 Jan 19 18:53 modules.symbols.bin

The "not found" is expected, of course.  But notice we see the same
error message, could not open builtin file.

  This problem is seen on x86 as well, so setting arch to All.

  root at linux:~# uname -a
  Linux cellc02 3.16.0-28-generic #38-Ubuntu SMP Fri Dec 12 17:37:40 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  Running with a preseed file, the install seems to complete normally in
  spite of these errors seen on the console.
