Public bug reported:
Can somebody confirm this as this was not funny for me at all ;-)
I burned the latest alpha6 alternate 386 iso of hardy to test it. I
tried to install as I did it before hundreds of times with other ubuntu
alpha and beta releases for testing. It seem the installer can not
clearly recognise the hard drives, it is a little hard to describe but
here the facts:
I have 2 SATA hard drives as raid1 (connected with a pci raid
controller, however the motherboard has also a raid controller for sata
but is not in use) and additional 3 IDE hard drives connected on the
testing work station. So this means (hda,hdb,hdb,sda,sdb). The installer
from gutsy 7.10 shows correctly this collection of drives. The latest
hardy alpha 6 installer shows me (sda,sdb,sdc,sdd,sde )???????. Anyway I
choose my drive for installation by the name of hard drive, in my case
it was the "Samsung bla bla ..." hda drive (primary IDE as master).
However after finished installation grub was not working and told me
something with file not found. So I checked a little bit and realised
that hardy was installed to the sata drives?!? I was also confused as I
chosse during installation "lvm crypted" and it starts to erasing an
empty hard drive (no partition). Normally this was not the case with
gutsy 7.10.
Can somebody confirm this problem or rebuild this case as this is
terrible if you have no backup somewhere for the overwritten partitions
;-) Was there any change for this between 7.10 and 8.04?
