** Description changed: I am having trouble installing Ubuntu on a newly built system (M/B: Gigabyte B85M-HD3, SSD: Transcend 370 128GB) The disk was partitioned with Windows installer (Windows 7) with the legacy BIOS (MBR) setting However the two partitions created by Windows are seen as corrupt by Ubuntu installer disk. ls /dev/sda* only shows "/dev/sda /dev/sda1" and not /dev/sda2 (sda1 is windows boot partition and sda2 its main partition) gparted says /dev/sda1 is lacking NTFS signature and /dev/sda2 doesn't exist This behavior appears in both Ubuntu 15.04 and 14.04.2 However: Both partitions are correctly recognized and mounted by every other linux distribution I have tried (Arch installer of April 2015, Linux Mint 17.1, Crunchbang). Windows works fine as well. A relevant fragment from dmesg: [ 3.326601] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 250069680 512-byte logical blocks: (128 GB/119 GiB) [ 3.326680] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off [ 3.326683] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 [ 3.326705] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA [ 3.327072] sda: [CUMANA/ADFS] sda1 [ADFS] sda1 [ 3.327076] sda: partition table partially beyond EOD, enabling native capacity [ 3.340753] sda: [CUMANA/ADFS] sda1 [ADFS] sda1 [ 3.340754] sda: partition table partially beyond EOD, truncated [ 3.340756] sda: p1 size 4067027304 extends beyond EOD, truncated [ 3.340929] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk I compared this to dmesg I get from booting Arch installer and the lines about "partition table partially beyond EOD, truncated" don't appear there. Instead I see something like [ 3.448351] sda: sda1 sda2 [ 3.448597] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk and the partitions are recognized Output of fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 119.2 GiB, 128035676160 bytes, 250069680 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0xe4e835e9 Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sda1 * 2048 206847 204800 100M 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sda2 206848 250066943 249860096 119.1G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT Found this: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4054 "This is a consequence of enabling CONFIG_ACORN_PARTITION_CUMANA: a 1 in 256 probability of getting any random partition recognized as CUMANA/ADFS. Solution: do not enable CONFIG_ACORN_PARTITION_CUMANA." I don't think this option is relevant to Ubuntu installations, would you consider disabling it? + + --- + ApportVersion: 2.17.2-0ubuntu1 + Architecture: amd64 + AudioDevicesInUse: + USER PID ACCESS COMMAND + /dev/snd/controlC2: ubuntu 1882 F.... pulseaudio + /dev/snd/controlC1: ubuntu 1882 F.... pulseaudio + /dev/snd/controlC0: ubuntu 1882 F.... pulseaudio + CasperVersion: 1.360 + CurrentDesktop: Unity + DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.04 + IwConfig: + eth0 no wireless extensions. + + lo no wireless extensions. + LiveMediaBuild: Ubuntu 15.04 "Vivid Vervet" - Release amd64 (20150422) + MachineType: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
