Comment 151 for bug 438136

I definitely have a false positive with my main drive (Hitachi), but something else just occurred to me - when I tried install Karmic from the live CD, it refused to recognize my Hitachi drive as a viable target for installation. In the end, I was forced to upgrade from Intrepid to Jaunty to Karmic using the dist upgrade option in synaptic.

I only discovered the false positive issue with palimpsest AFTER I had upgraded to Karmic through synaptic, so in retrospect, I wander if some sort of integrity check is done on the drive before the Karmic CD installer lists it prior to partitioning, and whether this false positive issue actually prevented me from installing Karmic from the live CD onto my Hitachi hard drive.

If that is true, perhaps an additional issue should be added to the list for the Karmic live CD?
