I'm having a similar issue with Herd 5. In Herd 3, I was able to get
the alternate CD partitioner to finally recognize my disks and
partitions by getting to a point where I was told there was no root
partition (red screen background), going back, and restarting the
partitioner. If I did this several times, it seemed eventually
partitioner found my partitions.
But in Herd 5, I tried several of the various non-sensical options:
cdrom-retreiver
IDE slave, partition # ()
0
Guided-resize cdrom-retreiver and use freed space
and I always get to a point where I get a red screen where I am told
there is no root partition, and the two options ("back" and "okay" [or
"forward" or "continue", I can't quite remember]) both do the same thing
- nothing. To get off the red screen, I have to ctrl-alt-del reboot.
So for me, Feisty Herd 5 simply won't install, plain and simple. (In
case it matters, HDA is a master IDE drive (dual booting Windows and
Ubuntu), HDB is the slave IDE drive, and SDA is a lone SATA drive. Asus
P4V8X-MX mobo - nothing exotic, and Edgy works beautifully on it.)
