@philip Would it be possible to identify such setups and show an error message? Otherwise I think more users will report bugs about this problem. I googled the issue and it looks like a lot of new laptops has Intel's Smart Response Technology ie. this fakeraid thing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1154252 Title: Installer finds no hard drives To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1154252/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Possibly. Can you post the output of sudo dmraid -s and sudo dmraid -n /dev/sda? ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1154252 Title: Installer finds no hard drives To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1154252/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1154252] Re: Installer finds no hard drives
It sounds like this laptop has an ssd being used by the Intel fakeraid to cache the HD. Unfortunately, this is not supported in Linux, so if you want to run Linux on this machine, you will have to destroy the fakeraid in the bios utility and go without using the ssd. ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Status: New = Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1154252 Title: Installer finds no hard drives To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1154252/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
