On several current FTP edgy installation attempts, the partitioner claims this (old WD) HD0 is unpartitioned (fdisk -l output from dapper HD1 boot):
Disk /dev/hda: 4000 MB, 4000776192 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 486 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/hda2 14 14 8032+ 11 Hidden FAT12 /dev/hda3 15 24 80325 6 FAT16 /dev/hda4 25 487 3719047+ 5 Extended /dev/hda5 25 55 248976 82 Linux swap /dev/hda6 56 487 3470008+ 83 Linux Note the CHS values. When this drive is wiped, head count is not 255. IIRC, it was C969 H128 S63, which maybe the partitioner wants to use instead of what is actually in use. Dapper is having no problem using this device as partitioned, and neither do the Breezy or Dapper CD installers. -- Installer does not see partitions on an IDE drive https://launchpad.net/bugs/16186 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
