Ok, it appears uboot couldn't recognize my usb pen (it was an old 4GB usb2.0) but worked fine with a more recent 16GB stick, go figure.
After that, I followed all the steps above, and i got to the point of partitioning the disk, but even after inserting the bcm2835 module, i coudln't see any /dev/mmc* device and, indeed, the installer could only find the usb pen as a viable installation media. Anyhow, i'm not sure how to test it, but here is the bionic generic kernel (and relative debs and udebs) if you want to try it out: http://people.canonical.com/~ppisati/lp1729128/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1729128 Title: Raspberry Pi 3 microSD support missing from the installer Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Bionic: Confirmed Bug description: Please add bcm2835 to block-modules on arm64 (and armhf?). artful's arm64 d-i mini.iso works fine on Raspberry Pi 3 when booting with a UEFI-capable u-boot, except for one detail: mmc/host/bcm2835.ko is missing from block-modules, so you can't install to microSD without manually grabbing and loading the module.
