I'm not sure if it's related to this bug. I just tried to install Xubunutu (also tested it with Kubuntu and same result). The installer did work fine until he started the hardware detection. He starts to hang with a DecChip 5*** (I don't remember the correct number) and with ps I noticed that modprobe had status 'D' and took a lot of CPU. I've killed the process after a hour and had the same problem with some other drivers. Afther the whole process, I could launch xubuntu without any problem. The only thing I noticed was that my soundcard (a Hercules Digifire 7.1) didn't work at all - although the chipset (a circus logic or something) was recognized if I took a look at the available hardware information. I don't know if this is a result of the installer that hang on the hardware detection or is the cause. I've installed Ubuntu in the past without any problem. I did the install on a old computer, x86 320MB Ram 400Mhz.
