[Bug 415888] [NEW] Installation fails on Crucial/Micron M225 256gb SSD

[Rachael B]

Public bug reported:

Have just installed a Crucial/Micron M225 256gb SSD with Indilinx
"Barefoot" controller.

The installation of Kubuntu 9.10 from live CD and alternate CD fails (error: "/target is read only")
The installation of UNR 9.10 also fails
The installation of Kubuntu 9.04 from live cd fails.
The installation of Kubuntu 9.04 from alternate cd works ONLY IF the options for "guided using LVM" or "guided using LVM (Encrypted)" are used
The installation of OpenSUSE 11.1 fomr live cd works ONLY IF the "LVM" option is chosen

Don't know if this is relevant but... GParted and OpenSUSE both report the disk size as 238.47gb
Windows (eek!) which install with no problems also reports the disk size as 238.47gb
The Kubuntu and Ubuntu installers both report the disk size as the full 256.1gb

HELP?????? :-s
