Ubuntu install doesn't run on 32Gb Nexus7 with 3g?

I tried installing Ubuntu on my recently purchased (for this purpose!) Nexus 7 32Gb, with the Cellular option. When I rebooted with Ubuntu, it didn't come up. I know, I need to post the errors I received. I was in a hurry to get back to something usable for the holiday (on the road, Thanksgiving, etc.), so I just reinstalled Android for now. When I have time, I'll post more of the errors. All I remember right now is that it dropped into busybox and I didn't have a keyboard or any way to attach one. (I used the 32Gb Ubuntu, by the way.)

Have others seen this?

After talking with the installation experts, I've discovered that the Quantal image for the 32GB Nexus7 with 3G is not currently working. The reason is that the addition of the new radio device changed the devices around just enough that the tarball installer is looking at the wrong path to install the filesystem. This is fixed in the raring images (which should be available shortly) but not quite yet on the Quantal images.
