Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 8.10 Release: 8.10 Codename: intrepid So is there a solution for this or not? I am a recent immigrant from Kubuntu. During the installation, I did not change anything or tell it to use sdb partitions, as this is the way it is done for Kubutnu installation. Hope this was not an error. Thanks for any help. -- Intrepid Ibex installer does not recognize partition table on SATA drives https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278159 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
