I am trying to install 9.10 on a fairly old PC with ATA hard drive and 512MB of ram.
However the partition editor shows no disks, thus not giving the options to create or edit or continue or whatever except to quit.

Disk is certainly recognized by the kernel as /dev/sda - I can do fdisk on it after switching to another text console. From the "live" mode, gnuparted can see that disk fine as well.

besides, mythbuntu 9.04 installs on the same box without any problems.

Any ideas?
