If you happened to know the particular module you need and it happened to reside on your computer during install, you can try and load it using modprobe when the system dumps you into the tinylinux boot loader.  I tried loading as many of the sata modules as I could find on the system to no avail.  Something either was left out in the new builds or ...shrug.  myself and my co-worker who use ubuntu as a primary os for a number of servers have decided that we are going to wait until this problem gets fixed.

Is there a bug report open about your problem in Launchpad?  I did try
to search for one, but didn't find anything (but with the quantity of
bug reports  open about the kernel, I may have missed it...)
