Could you do 'depmod -a' on a newly installed system?
Could you please determine exactly which version you are using? I
expect it's 2.2.20. 'uname -a' and 'ls /lib/modules' would help as
well.

We need exact output of that failure. It might suffice to send to
this bug the /var/log/installer.log that was created during
installation, after you've rebooted into your system.

Hmm. I can't even test this, so, as I said, I need exact data.
Thanks a lot.
