I'd recommend filing a bug report against the linux kernel. Of course we
could reassign this bug report, but filing a fresh new one would allow
the kernel bug script to gather more info about your system.

Since that's not an issue during the installation process per se (which
is what matters for installation reports), I'm closing this bug report
for now. Feel free to add a reference to the kernel bug report to this
one once it's reported, so that people discovering your initial
installation report can switch to the kernel one easily.

(You can add this reference by using reply-all on this mail.)

Thanks for the report anyway!

Mraw,
KiBi.
