Public bug reported:
Ubuntu Feisty Fawn Desktop CD
Upon attempting to install Feisty from a Desktop CD, I noticed that my
main hard drive that Edgy and Windows were installed onto successfully,
was represented as /dev/sda. I believe sd* means it is (detected as) a
SATA drive, while hd* means it is (detected as) a IDE drive. If this is
incorrect, please disregard this bug report.
To reproduce this bug (on my system):
1. Boot into a Feisty Desktop CD
2. Open up the terminal and type "sudo fdisk -l"
3. See the hard drives that are detected
The output of the command "sudo fdisk -l" on my system under the above
circumstances is:
Disk /dev/hde: 41.1 GB, 41110142976 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4998 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

Partition table entries are not in disk order
Disk /dev/sda: 20.0 GB, 20020396032 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2434 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 2327 18691596 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 2328 2434 859477+ 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 2328 2434 859446 82 Linux swap / Solaris
The hard drive is detected as "hda1" under Edgy.
If relevant: Feisty will install on my system onto sda1, but GRUB will
give error 17 when attempting to boot, so the system is unusable. I am
still trying to fix this problem.
