Title:
  ubiquity hard disk not detected

Status in parted package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  This bug exists since LTS16.04 and is present in LTS18.04 (beta1 20
  april)

  Gparted, filemanager, everyone is happy with the disk.

  -can mount partitions
  -can resize partitions....
  -can copy from/write on

  Only the installer (ubiquity) fails to see it.

  When asking destination, it shows the usb-booted key and nothing more.
  But it correctly selects the hard disk (/dev/sda) for grub location !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  parted (on 18.04 / 16.04) complains about sector size 512 linux 2048 physical (block descriptor)
  Under a previous ubuntu, it's ok (3.16 kernel)

  Exchanging this hard drive (WD10ears) is ok (but unwanted.

  not a fancy bios, only AHCI mode and nothing, 2011 machine.
