I finally managed to install Kubuntu on my XPS 8700 by following instructions from this guide: http://ubuntuone.com/2MQe9Wi5POr46RIqVVdZVm
Basically I needed to disable Intel's Rapid Storage Technology 'acceleration' before the installer could find the disk. The pdf guide also recommended to change the sata controller from raid to ahci. but that step was *not* necessary in my case. Note that *after* installation, I could re-enable Intel's Rapid Storage Technology and grub still worked. I can boot to both windows and kubuntu! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1277997 Title: Kubuntu Install fail on new Dell XPS8700: partman error 141: "No matching physical volumes found" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1277997/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
