Public bug reported:
Hi
I had:
- Software:
Dual boot with
+ Windows XP
+ Ubuntu 10.04 LTS x32
- Hardware
- Fake RAID 1 (mirroring) with 2x1 TB:
Partition 1 - Windows
Partition 2 - SWAP
Partition 3 - / (root)
Partition 4 - Extended
Partition 5 - /home
Partition 6 - /data

I wanted to upgrade from 10.04 x32 to 12.04 x64 using FRESH installation.
So, run installation of Ubuntu 12.04.1 x64 LTS using alternate CD.
During the installation I selected manual partitioning and to:
- Use and Format / (root)
- Use and Format SWAP
- Use and Keep data on /home
- Use and Keep data on /data
After I clicked "Continue" I get error creating and formatting SWAP partition.
I go to terminal with Alt + F2 (?) and hit enter.
I discovered that there was visible RAID as only disk with NO partitions.
Something like this:
arek@domek:/var/log/installer$ ls -l /dev/mapper/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Oct 7 20:17 /dev/mapper/pdc_jhjbcaha -> ../dm-0
arek@domek:/var/log/installer$ ls -l /dev/dm*
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 252, 0 Oct 7 20:17 /dev/dm-0
So I switched to log console Alt+F3 (?) and saw errors like below:

As You can see there are 2 errors

and
Oct 7 14:06:11 partman: mkswap: can't open '/dev/mapper/pdc_jhjbcaha2': No

I looked in the internet and try to run command "dmraid -ay" and get
something like that:
dmraid -ay

/dev/mapper/pdc_jhjbcaha5 -> Successfully activated
/dev/mapper/pdc_jhjbcaha6 -> Successfully activated
Then I returned to installer with Alt+F1 (?) and click "Return" to
return to partitioning menu. I did NOT change anything just selected
again "Continue" and everything goes smoothly.
I hope this will help someone.
