(Get the code!)
Hello,
I had the same problem on my laptop :
Partition 1 : Windows XP
Partition 2/3/4 : Ubuntu 8.xx
The installer didn't find any partition at all.
Using Ubuntu as a live CD and fdisk tool, i've seen that the partition table was incorrect:
- Too many cylinder count
- Partition overlap
To correct this i simply had to delete the linux partition using fdisk and write the new partition table on the disk.
Then after reboot, the installer was able to see the partitions correctly.
For me it looks like this is not a bug... maybe the installer could report the problems seen with fdisk to prevent any misunderstanding of the situation.
