[Bug 365944] Re: Ubuntu 9.04 don't see disk partition during installation.
I can confirm this bug with the installer of Karmic Koala Beta, 64 bit, alternate cd. These are my partition tables, they seem to be perfectly OK: r...@hardy64:~# fdisk -l /dev/sd? Disk /dev/sda: 1500.3 GB, 1500301910016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 182401 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x421eef0c Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 2 263 2104515 83 Linux /dev/sda2 * 2645485419457157 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda35486 182401 1421005 Extended /dev/sda55486 31593 209712447 da Non-FS data /dev/sda6 31594 57701 209712478+ da Non-FS data /dev/sda7 57702 121421 511830868+ 83 Linux /dev/sda8 121422 182255 488649105 a7 NeXTSTEP Disk /dev/sdb: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes 192 heads, 48 sectors/track, 16959 cylinders Units = cylinders of 9216 * 512 = 4718592 bytes Disk identifier: 0x5d352b02 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 2 1695978142464 83 Linux Disk /dev/sdc: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0xdb07f483 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdc1 1 60801 488384001 a7 NeXTSTEP But the partitions on /dev/sda are not shown in the installer. If I press ENTER on sda, the installer wants to create a new partition table. Photo attached. I'm going to change the title of this bug, since it won't get fixed for older version of Ubuntu anyway and it's relevant to the upcoming release. ** Attachment added: DSC00973.JPG http://launchpadlibrarian.net/32957383/DSC00973.JPG ** Summary changed: - Ubuntu 9.04 don't see disk partition during installation. + Karmic Beta: disk partitions not shown in installer. -- Karmic Beta: disk partitions not shown in installer. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365944 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 365944] Re: Ubuntu 9.04 don't see disk partition during installation.
Hello, I had the same problem on my laptop : Partition 1 : Windows XP Partition 2/3/4 : Ubuntu 8.xx The installer didn't find any partition at all. Using Ubuntu as a live CD and fdisk tool, i've seen that the partition table was incorrect: - Too many cylinder count - Partition overlap To correct this i simply had to delete the linux partition using fdisk and write the new partition table on the disk. Then after reboot, the installer was able to see the partitions correctly. For me it looks like this is not a bug... maybe the installer could report the problems seen with fdisk to prevent any misunderstanding of the situation. --- Mathieu -- Ubuntu 9.04 don't see disk partition during installation. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365944 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

I have this same problem. I have Vista, XP, and a previous linux install.
