Bug Description
This bug exists since LTS16.04 and is present in LTS18.04 (beta1 20 april)
Gparted, filemanager, everyone is happy with the disk.
-can mount partitions
-can resize partitions....
-can copy from/write on
Only the installer (ubiquity) fails to see it.
When asking destination, it shows the usb-booted key and nothing more.
But it correctly selects the hard disk (/dev/sda) for grub location !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
parted (on 18.04 / 16.04) complains about sector size 512 linux 2048 physical (block descriptor)
Under a previous ubuntu, it's ok (3.16 kernel)
Exchanging this hard drive (WD10ears) is ok (but unwanted.
not a fancy bios, only AHCI mode and nothing, 2011 machine.
