This also happens when using Boot It Bare
Metal(http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/bootit-bare-metal.htm) as a boot
manager and Kubuntu 12.04.

Also there is a Launchpad question for the same topic, I moved that to
partman-base. There is bootinfoscript output:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/805639/
But obviously bootinfoscript is not aware of MBR boot code written by
IBMs Boot Manager, it falsely declares the MBR to be empty. The script
was

I'd be happy to send you the requested files. I'm logged in as
administrator but the system tells me permission is denied. Another bug?

I doubt it; I suspect you're a non-root user with sudo permissions, so
the system is behaving as designed. You can use a root shell to copy
the files to somewhere readable.

It would be really helpful if somebody could attach
/var/log/installer/syslog and /var/log/installer/partman from an Ubuntu
installation that has damaged the partition table in this way.

I'll throw this over to partman-base while I ponder on exactly where to
fix it. Thanks for observing that partman/alignment=cylinder is a
workaround; that suggests some useful possibilities.
Oliver, ubiquity doesn't have a separate upstream existence - it's a
package in Ubuntu and that's as far
B y pure chance I hit the Also affects project button, and the screen
that comes up then says that ubiquity doesn't track it's bugs on
Launchpad. My goodness.
So I have decided to use the dialog that reports this bug as being
upstream, but it has not yet been reported there. Let's hope that we

So now that a couple of other users say there parition layout has been
killed, too: Could someone at least please markt the bug Confirmed -
as the bug reporter I would be hesitant to do this myself.
It is a shame that no one finds a bug that kills other operating systems
on the disk important
This BUG is worse than any I've ever experienced. PLEASE GIVE IT SOME
HIGH PRIORITY!!! I am not a programmer, user only. I wish I could help
fix it. I've seen this one cause a newly installed Ubuntu 10.10
installation to not boot using IBM boot manager. Boot manager was set up
to point to that
The kernelparameter 'partman/alignment=cylinder' seems to fix this
behaviour.
When you add the 'partman/alignment=cylinder' kernel-parameter before
starting the Linux installation, the partitioner will not realign the
extended partition to MB-boundaries and eCS LVM-info will be preserved.
So,
Debian Squeeze now has this behaviour too.
What actually happens is that the lower bound of the extended container,
which is based on a cylinder boundary when created with eCOmStation's (OS/2)
LVM disktool,
is moved upwards to a MiB boundary by the Debian Squeeze / Ubuntu 10.04+
installation
My LVM information was corrupted, too. After trying Ubuntu 10.10 in
Virtualbox and as Live CD with success, I installed into free space
following my eCS / OS/2 LVM partitions, just to make the disk unusable
until restoring a backup.

I'm also very unhappy with 10.10 destroying my OS/2 LVM information.
I'll add that I had a couple of preexisting swap partitions on different
drives and these drives also had their LVM tables corrupted
