Re: [Bug 174669] Re: gutsy server installer doesn't detect partitions
I didn't check out the bugs, but I have in previous versions run accross and issue where the installer doesn't much like extended partitions, kinda freaks out, pretends it can't see anything. Probably a traumatic bit-hood experience.

SATA vs. IDE is unlikely to be a real bug, by the way. IDE controllers are being migrated over to the new libata-based PATA drivers, which show up as /dev/sd*. ** Also affects: parted (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- gutsy server installer doesn't detect partitions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/174669 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 174669] Re: gutsy server installer doesn't detect partitions
I'd like to get logs for this. If you can still reproduce this problem, could you attach /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman from the running installer to this bug? (You can extract them by going back to the installer main menu and selecting Save debug logs.) The installer most definitely *does* support extended partitions, so I'm afraid the forum post that suggested that was a little confused. However, it's possible that there's some other change that happened at the same time as that rearrangement that meant that libparted could deal with your partition table again. In that case, failing logs ought to have a record of the exact problem. ** Changed in: parted (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- gutsy server installer doesn't detect partitions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/174669 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Rejecting the task on the debian-installer project (as opposed to the debian-installer package in Ubuntu); we don't use this for Ubuntu bugs. ** Changed in: debian-installer Status: Confirmed = Invalid -- gutsy server installer doesn't detect partitions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/174669 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

If this is a server installer bug it can't be a ubiquity bug, so marking that task invalid. The debian-installer task remains open. (If it's common to both, it's likely the fault of something else anyway, so there's still no need for two tasks.) ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Invalid -- gutsy server installer doesn't detect partitions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/174669 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 174669] Re: gutsy server installer doesn't detect partitions
I think I figured it out. And I SUSPECT this may be the culprit in all related bugs: My partition table went something like this: hda1 primary Ubuntu_Server hda2 primary /home hda3 extended hda5 logical PCLinuxOS_2007 hda6 logical swap Apparently (I wish I could find the forum post that I learned this form) extended partitions freak out some partition managers. I don't know why, but evidence supports this. I actually ended up in a Knoppix LiveCD, moved PCLOS to a directory under hda1, deleted the extended partition with fdisk (the only partition manager that could see it), then used gparted to create a two new primary partitions in it's place, moved stuff back, etc. Suddenly all partition managers (including the Ubuntu installer) could see the partitions. If I'm right, and this is the primary culprit in the other bugs, perhaps from here a patch or fix could be considered? Update the partition manager that it might be able to see extended partitions of this type or something?

After going back through the bugs you referenced, I got to bug 130124 that sounds similar. Can you do a sudo fdisk -l and paste the output here. If fdisk can see the partitions then they look similar enough that this one should be marked a duplicate.
