Bug Description

Binary package hint: base-installer

Hi,

I was installing xubuntu 9.10 on my laptop that already contained a copy of Centos 5.4 x86 edition. The harddrive already contained a 100Mb /boot partition and the rest (40Gb roughly) was setup as LVM. Basically it was a default Centos install.

The xubuntu installer correctly identified the partitions but it failed to recongise the OS and informed me that there is no OS installed. As such it suggested that it will erase the whole harddrive and reassign it to xubuntu.

Please could you look into this.
