[Bug 1062625] Re: Ubuquity partitioning fails to find /dev/sda

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

The installer detected RAID card on your machine. Maybe it's one of the
new Intel Matrix Storage (Rapid Storage, Advanced Management).

Oct  5 23:55:37 ubuntu activate-dmraid: Serial ATA RAID disk(s) detected. If this was bad, boot with 'nodmraid'.
Oct  5 23:55:37 ubuntu activate-dmraid: Enabling dmraid support.

You can try booting the cd, pressing F6 and selecting nodmraid option.

Title:
  Ubuquity partitioning fails to find /dev/sda

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  DVD image from 20121005. Booted brand-new system with it, selected
  "try Ubuntu", verified Ubuntu worked on the system. Tried to install,
  partitioning tries to install on /dev/sdc (memory stick, boot device),
  and suggests /dev/sdb (DVD) for Grub.

  Cancelled, opened Nautilus. Nautilus shows a disk "OS". Mounted it,
  got the original Windows installed system, using all disk.

  Unmounted, opened gparted -- /dev/sda is show. Resized /dev/sda3 so
  that Windows will only use 100G.

  Rebooted, tried to install Ubuntu -- again Ubiquity does not show
  /dev/sda.

  Opened this bug.
