Well, as a general consideration: a) I'm not a guru, but nor a newbie, so if affects me just image how many will be b) Ubiquity provides no feedback about what the problem could be (while at least alternate installer gave me a suspicious reference to RAID that, on my opinion, were out of question since disabled by BIOS) leaving me clueless and thinking about some hardware incompatibilities c) removing a HD did not solved the problem d) that PC was NEVER booted or configured before (so seems that Fujitsu sells them already with raid metadata!)
So even if there is a technical explanation of Ubiquity failure, it has to be considered as a failure, not a lack of user knowledge. Ubiquity should at least mention that if finds RAID metadata like alternate installer does, and both should ask the user something like: "I've found RAID metadata, do you want to activate these raid devices, or erase raid metadata?" (at least in a situation like mine, where no partition was present). -- ubiquity does not show sata driver with bios RAID disabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/560374 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
