Title:
The Installer does not see existing partitions
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
After booting the live-cd for kubuntu karmic (beta downloaded on
october the 8th 09) starting ubiquity works OK until the partitioning.
Choosing manual partitioning I have to wait for some 2-3 minutes, then
the partitioner offers to use the complete disk.
The HD is partitioned using the installer of OpenSuse 11.1. No RAID
LVM or other fancy stuff - just 3 ext3-partitions and one swap. Those
partitions are perfectly available in the live-session. I can see,
mount and use them in Dolphin.
Ubiquity does not see any of those partitions and only offers to make
a new partition-table.
cfdisk (run as root via sudo) can see all the partitions and list them
correctly (see attachement). But after trying to run Ubiquity it fails
and shows: FATAL ERROR cannot read disk drive. It is also not possible
anymore to mount the partitions in Dolphin after running Ubiquity.
I get the very same problem using the alternate installer and also the
same with Debian 5 netinstall. 64Studio3beta (based on Gutsy) sees and
uses the partitions perfectly well.
