I was able to replicate this failure on an ARMv8 (aarch64) xenial system, using the supplied instructions for QEMU and getting the modprobe error.

This doesn't impact any certified hardware to date, but is known to impact some pre-release platforms, as well as QEMU when a virtio-rng-pci device is attached. [Test Case] On a xenial/arm64 host, run: sudo apt install qemu-system-arm qemu-efi wget http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/yakkety/main/installer-arm64/20101020ubuntu483/images/netboot/mini.iso cp /usr/share/AAVMF/AAVMF_CODE.fd flash0.img cp /usr/share/AAVMF/AAVMF_VARS.fd flash1.img sudo qemu-system-aarch64 -enable-kvm -m 2048 -cpu host -M virt,gic_version=host -nographic -pflash flash0.img -pflash flash1.img -drive file=mini.iso,id=cdrom,if=none,media=cdrom -device virtio-scsi-device -device scsi-cd,drive=cdrom -device virtio-rng-pci Select Install from the GRUB menu, and continue through the installer menus to "Detect network hardware". On failure, the installer will report 'Error while running "modprobe -v -b usb-storage"'. On success, it'll continue through to the network configuration screens. [Regression Risk] This will be a simple cherry pick from upstream, so we'll have upstream support w/ any regressions.
