Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
I tried installing from the Jaunty alpha 5 desktop amd64 CD, and ubiquity couldn't see any partitions. (This was with the 'try Ubuntu' option; subsequently I installed via the 'install Ubuntu' boot option and it found the partitions and installed successfully.)
The only thing I did differently from normal was that I had an SD card in the mmcblk reader. Ubiquity wanted to install to this device in preference to /dev/sda, but reported that there were no operating systems anywhere on the computer. I tried going back in the installer and removing the card so as to re-run the partitioner, but this time it found nothing at all (see attached screenshot).
Pressing 'forward' didn't work as it told me I had to set up a root partition, but since it had found no partitions I couldn't set one up.

I tried again without the SD card inserted and got exactly the same result - ubiquity doesn't report any partitions when you boot in desktop mode from the live CD.
