I am trying to install Kubuntu Intrepid to my Compaq Presario laptop using the HDD install method of downloading the appropriate initrd and vmlinuz files from
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/
The GRUB entry is:
title Install Kubuntu
root (hd0,2)
kernel /hdinst-vmlinuz vga=normal ramdisk_size=14972 root=/dev/rd/0 rw --
initrd /hdinst-initrd
But after "Scanning disks" and starting the partitioner, I get an empty list of partitions (i.e. no partitions indicated). Upon pressing Ctrl+Alt+F4, I get the installer's messages:
main-menu: INFO: Menu item 'partman-base' selected
partman: No matching physical volumes found
I don't understand why this is happening. I have installed upto Intrepid Alpha 6 using this method without any problems. Now with Intrepid final I am not able to do this.
Can anyone help me with this problem please?
