Update: Choosing "continue with no disk drive" at the "Detect disks" dialogue results in the partitioner giving the same menu as in my initial report. I still have not succeeded in determining which, if any, driver in the list to try. This is the output from lspci when the machine is booted with a Jaunty desktop image:

VT1708/A [Azalia HDAC] (VIA High Definition Audio Controller) (rev 10) Conclusions so far: 1) Alternate installer fails to detect internal disk drive starting with Karmic Alpha 6. 2) When booting from USB, no warning is given of the drive detection failure, resulting in a warning message from the partitioner instead. As mentioned, this hardware has worked fine with the alternate installer for Hardy, Intrepid, Jaunty, and Karmic Alphas 3, 4, and 5. -- Karmic alternate installer partition disks menu empty of options https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/439047 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
