This message is seen pretty consistently on the console during install of latest vivid daily builds, using a preseed or not.

It is related to module loading somehow. I happen to notice this, while in the installer looking at a different problem:

~ # modinfo somemissingmodule
libkmod: kmod_lookup_alias_from_builtin_file: could not open builtin file '/lib/modules/3.18.0-9-powerpc64-smp/modules.builtin.bin'
modinfo: ERROR: Module somemissingmodule not found.

~ # ls -l /lib/modules/3.18.0-9-powerpc64-smp/

The "not found" is expected, of course. But notice we see the same error message, could not open builtin file.
