[Bug 449414] Re: The Installer does not see existing partitions
zettberlin, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ . If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux replace-with-bug-number ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/449414 Title: The Installer does not see existing partitions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/449414/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 449414] Re: The Installer does not see existing partitions
!! I thought to try installing Jaunty instead and upgrading to Karmic, but I found the problem is still there in the Jaunty installer's partitioner. What's more, on the Jaunty LiveCD, gparted has the same problem! Is that any kind of hint? (If I run parted in the terminal and try to list partitions, it just says Error: Unable to satisfy all constraints on the partition.) So Zett, did you ever try it with Jaunty? If we are indeed seeing the same bug, this strongly suggests it's not the kernel after all. -- The Installer does not see existing partitions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/449414 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 449414] Re: The Installer does not see existing partitions
Just did some Googling, and it looks like the key for me was that I used fdisk to fix the partition order. Did you ever do that on that disk? Reportedly it screws up parted ... good to know ... Ah! Just now tried deleting the last partition with fdisk and reallocating it. Seems it really was too close to the previous one. (Fortunately it was a swap partition, so I didn't have to worry about the data.) So I guess the lesson for me is not to use that reorder command in fdisk on logical partitions; you wind up with overlap. (Now to complain to the parted guys; I wish it'd just create the partitions in the right order to begin with, no matter what order I define them in ...)

[Bug 449414] Re: The Installer does not see existing partitions
I'm seeing exactly the same symptoms on regular (non-K) Ubuntu, only I'd just partitioned the disk using gparted (and fdisk, to fix the partition order). Also, I've got Windows XP running on an NTFS partition (which I'd just resized). I can attach those logs if it'd help. Is there a workaround?

This appears to be either a kernel bug or broken hardware. I'm moving this over to the kernel team so they can determine if it's the former. ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Invalid -- The Installer does not see existing partitions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/449414 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 449414] Re: The Installer does not see existing partitions
Broken hardware -- hmmm since older/other Linux-installers do not have any problems with the board/hd I would not suspect this. Reviewing the syslog though makes me think of a regression in the kernel... BTW: the Suse111 that is already installed (and working perfectly well) runs with a pae-realtime kernel 2.6.31 from Jan Engelhardt.

Please run the installer in debug mode (`ubiquity -d` from a konsole window) and attach /var/log/syslog, /var/log/partman, and /var/log/installer/debug once you get to the advanced partitioning page.
