Title:
Console message "could not open builtin file
'/lib/modules/3.16.0-28-generic/modules.builtin.bin' " is got while
installing Ubuntu15.04
Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in debian-installer source package in Trusty:
Fix Committed
Status in debian-installer source package in Utopic:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
[ SRU Justification ]
Under some conditions, the kmod error messages from a missing modules.builtin will end up on the console, making it difficult to interact with the installer. Furthermore, it's a performance hit and a general confusion to be missing the file.
[ Test Case ]
Watch for errors on the console, and also check syslog at the end of the install. ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r) to see if modules.builtin.bin is non-zero length.
[ Regression potential ]
Pretty much nil, given the content of the patch, and that it's a no-op on kernels that don't provide a modules.builtin.

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

Running with a preseed file, the install seems to complete normally in
