Public bug reported:
When I install the new beta and get to the manual partition editor it
shoes my SATA drive as having no partition table. When I open the same
partition in fdisk from the installer CD it shows the partition map. The
chipset is the sis180 raid SATA controller (though I suspect the
hardware driver is not at issue). It looks like there is just something
in my partition table that the installer does not like. I tried
rewriting the table from fdisk to no avail. It still refuses to show me
the existing partitions in the installer. My drive is mapped like this:
Primary Partition --> Windows XP
Extended partition -
1. Ubuntu 8.04
2. Swap
Pretty basic.....
I didn't see that anyone else was having this probem with Ibex and I
specifically remember 8.04 seeing my windows partition when I installed
last on this drive. Any help would be appreciated. Sorry for the lack of
logs or screen shots as I don't have many good ways to capture from the
installer CD.
