Mythtv installer fails to detect any drives in System

[David Trott]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

When installing mythbuntu 9.10 it gets to the screen where drives need to be partitioned and doesn't detect any drives. (All the buttons are greyed out).

I have checked from a terminal window and I can partition the drive fine using fdisk.

Additionally reverting back to the 9.04 distro of mythbuntu allows me to partition and install without issue.
