[Bug 2081778] Re: curtin crash - "Couldn't find partition entry in table"

[Libna]

The problem was due to a disk that was converted as a dynamic disk in 
Win 11. After I converted it back to a basic, I could install Ubuntu (as 
usual) as dual boot with Win 11.

Bug description:
  Several users in private bugs have run into a common problem, where
  curtin fails to parse the initial storage configuration with the
  following error:

    File "/snap/ubuntu-desktop-installer/939/bin/subiquity/subiquity/server/controllers/filesystem.py", line 852, in _probe

      raise RuntimeError(
  RuntimeError: Couldn't find partition entry in table

  The issue can be reproduced with dry-run based on the ProbeData.txt in
  LP: #2017524 and presumably others.
