No partition listed in ubiquity (HP Envy 4 1062sf)

[Christophe Narbonne]

I tryed today's release [11/10/2012] and 12.10 beta 2 both in AMD64 arch.

Both showed me empty frame where should have been the list of partition and free space.
Gparted allow me to manage all partitions and make my logical volume with swap, and 2 ext4 partitions but nothing in ubitquity.
It crashed on "change" and on "+" buttons but bug reporter didn't oppened firefox.

For more info tell me how to give it...

Note, I don't know if it's linked but there is some intel smart response technology partition bundled with the Windows default operating system.

As I gave a bunch of new data I put back "new" status

In the crashed state & network available, switch to tty1 and file the bug using:
  ubuntu-bug ubiquity

or alternatively retrieve and attach /var/log/syslog and /var/log/installer/*

I saw this warning on partman lanching (after taking a look at traceback).

[Christophe Narbonne (christophe31)]

it leads to following screen

this work around looks like working...

Can you please file bug using: ubuntu-bug ubiquity? from within live session after you have attempted to install?
Your screenshots look very strange...

[Christophe Narbonne (christophe31)]

in fact the problem seems to be known for intel smart response technology.

dmraid try to mount it as raid and "shit on himself". once uninstaller
evrything works. the solution would be to replace dmraid by mdadm.

ok or you can boot with `nodmraid` boot option to prevent dmraid interrupting your installation.

Integrating mdadm with installer is tracked in bug 1028677
