It looks like the ubiquity in the 10/27/2009 daily build (karmic- desktop-amd64.iso, sha256 sum 69530b9166767668b7ab36ad7475d02f4fbe35da42516a46a6a698abc0f91a09) fixes the problem, at least under vmware.
I fed it dual IDE and dual SCSI virtual disks, and it showed the first disk both times. The lack of "side by side" on the win7 pro system I mention Sunday night 10/25 was probably due to the 10/22 CD version fixating on some random USB device around /dev/sdh or so which offered block access, but was not a hard drive, and contained no formatted data partitions. Testing the 10/27 daily build DVD I got "side by side" if the sda device contained a formatted partition, but only "erase" and "free space" and "manual" if it was either blank (no partition table) or had unformatted partitions of some type. If I picked the "largest contiguous free space", depending on what I'd been doing with fdisk behind it's back from a terminal window it might shift focus to sdb. It's looking back to normal, and even subtly smart about presenting the most relevant options to the user. I'll retest one of the problem physical systems when I get home. -- ubiquity partition step does not show some hard drives https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/459054 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
