I have a similar issue, found first in Mint 9 RC and confirmed upstream
with Lucid (x64 in both cases).  I'm trying to install on my laptop
(single-drive).  I have 50gigs un-partitioned, I choose the "use largest
continuous free space" option to install.  This suggests 2 new logical
partitions, typically sda5 and sda6 (one ext4 for root and one swap).
So far so good.  I choose advanced at the end, looking to install grub
on sda5 (I dual boot Win7 and try a lot of distros, so it's easier for
me to let Windows have the MBR and manage from there with EasyBCD).
This setup has worked fine on previous releases.  Now however, I don't
see any of the proposed new partitions in the dropdown, but there is a
mysterious sda-1.  Selecting this disables the OK button.
