Hi people, first post, sorry if it's not the place/time/method. Encountered this problem during installation of standard desktop 7.04.
Running a PC with Gigabyte mobo that has a Gigabyte SATA raid. Wanted to use the RAID controller for RAID1 configuration. Booted into the graphical installation mode. Ubuntu did not detect the RAID controller until "dmraid" package was installed. "dmraid -ay" dispayed my array name as "jmicron_GRAID". Running ubiquity at this point had caused the partitioning stage to fail with "could not stat device name" error. Apparently Gigabyte controller reports the array name as "jmircron_GRAID " (yes, those are blank spaces used to fill a total of 16 characters). Partman was not able to handle this until the following operations were performed: 1. "dmsetup rename jmicron_GRAID\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ jmicron_GRAID" (in order to reproduce the correct ammount of spaces - type /dev/mapper/jm & start tabbing until bash completes the name for you). 2. "/etc/init.d/udev restart" Afterwards I was able to run Ubiquity using the icon on the desktop. Hope this helps anyone!
