[Bug 459054] Re: ubiquity partition step does not show some hard drives

[Nicolas Krzywinski]

I first encountered this bug on Lucid on one of my PCs. Skipped
installation of Ubuntu therefore and waited for Maverick. But there and
in Natty this problem is still not solved!

Switching IDE/AHCI mode, Ubuntu/Mythbuntu installers, booting into live
environment and starting ubiquity from there all did not helped.

The workaround of removing the dmraid package finally succeeded with
current Natty installer of Ubuntu 64 Bit - thanks for that!

This system is Clarkale-based: Core i3 something, running on P7H55D-M
EVO with SSD connected via SATA.

Title:
  ubiquity partition step does not show some hard drives

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  this seems like it could be similar to #60868.

  during the partition step of the installer, sda is not coming up at all either in manual partition or automatically partition.
  there are 2 other disks, sdb and sdc, sdb has windows installed on it.
  none of the drives are mounted.
