Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

I installed Ubuntu 6.10 beta using the Live CD installer. I have two harddisks in my PC, no RAID, and aside from the Live CD installer everything is working fine.

When I was going through the Live CD installer, the installer detected my two disks (sda and sdb) at "select a disk". When I chose "manually edit partition table", I couldn't choose to see sdb from the dropdown box however, only sda.

Even though "manually edit partition table" didn't work for me, I just gave the command to erase sdb (SCSI4) and install there, and the installation went fine.
