Problem: When trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 desktop from USB pendrive I can't see the sda partitions in the manual partition editor.

I have a dual boot PC with Windows XP Pro and Ubuntu 8.10 running (see below for more details). Using the 10.04 Ubuntu desktop edition on a USB stick (pendrivelinux), I can boot without a problem and everything works fine: mount/unmount of all my drives, read data, etc. But I can't install the 10.04!

When running the installer, at the point where the partition is selected, I choose "manual" as option. On the next screen I only see the drives/partitions starting from /dev/sdb1... to sde, but NOT /dev/sda. The "Add" button is greyed out, I can only edit the existing partitions. When I edit and press forward I get an error telling me that the SWAP partition is missing. I already HAVE a swap on sda.

I also tried booting Ubuntu 10.04 and then running the installer - no difference. I also remove the plug from one of the drives (sde) - still the installer doesn't show me sda.

I would like to install 10.04 without messing up my Windows XP Pro and without messing up my /home partition or any other partitions that are non-Ubuntu stuff.

In former years this used to be the easiest part, now it looks like a challenge. Any help is appreciated.

System and background info:
Hardware: Desktop PC with Intel Core 2, Nvidia graphics card, 5 SATA hard drives hooked to Gigabyte mother board, two network cards (only one in use)
Current OSes: Windows XP Pro on sda1, Ubuntu 8.10 on sda and sdb

I have two 250G drives that contain several partitions (mainly system partitions), and 3 additional drives with only 1 partition.

Under Ubuntu 8.10 I have the following ext3 partitions:
/
/boot
/home
/multimedia (this is an entire drive sdc1)
plus several NTFS partitions/drives and a SWAP partition

/ and /boot reside on the sdb drive, /home and swap on the sda drive (if I remember correctly).

I'm currently not at my PC.

Pump !

I tried Linux Mint - same result. It uses the same installer and there seems to be a bug. I still haven't tried the -- partman/alignment=cylinder boot option since I can't figure out how to activate this option during the boot/install.

Please help!

can you do

sudo fdisk -l

sudo blkid

mount

edit: while booted off the install.

I haven't mounted any installed disk, but I could easily do so (and have done so). The Ubuntu desktop 10.04 / Linux Mint 8 life distros work perfectly fine, I just can't install the damn thing (without screwing up my hard drives).

Sorry, forgot to mention: in my last post I highlighted two lines since there seems to be a mistake. sdd1 should be an NTFS drive, but is listed as SFS. Then again, under blkid it appears OK. I don't think this is the problem.

In the meantime I also tried the following: I disconnected all drives except the first and second hdd where the OSs are installed. The installer found only one drive, whereas within Ubuntu/Linux Mint I was able to see and mount both drives and their partitions.

Go figure!

Now I have burned the ISO image to a CD and I will try from there, that is not from the USB stick! I'll update on the findings.

thanks,

let's see how the cd differs.

heiko_s

May 6th, 2010, 10:53 PM

CD or USB stick makes no difference - the installer still refuses to list ALL drives/partitions.

Since the Linux Mint 8 on USB stick is persistent, I updated part of the system (only prio 1 updates and something to do with ubuquity). No difference!

Help!!! Please !!!!!!!!!!

I have the exact same problem; more or less; the installer and gparted do not see the partition on my first drive sda; it only sees it has one big partition and tells me that no operating system are loaded on the computer. The funny thing is that it if I continue and boot (try ubuntu 10.04 it actually mount the partition on sda.

On sda I have:

a partition for winxp
a partion for Ubuntu 9.10
a partition for /home.

I don't want to disturb my /home partition. The goal here is to install 10.04 where 9.10 now reside and keep the same /home so I do not lose all my settings.

Here's the result of fdisk while using ubuntu 10.04 cd rom.

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l

If i use gparted at this point it tells me that I have no partition on sda (unallocated).

Very weird; any idea anyone. The bug seems to be with gparted since I think it is also used during the installation process.

Just for clarification: when I boot into Ubuntu 10.04 or Linux Mint 8 (the latter is actually based on Ubuntu 9.10) I do get all the drives and partitions.

Only when I want to install Ubuntu 10.04 or Linux Mint 8 the installer (ubuquity ???) doesn't see all drives. Even when I disconnect all drives except for two with system files and /home directory, it still identifies n-1 drive. Again, only the installer, not when I boot into the system.

One more clue perhaps: I have 2 drives marked as bootable. And it's always one of them that's gone missing!

I'll try now to remove the bootflag on one of them and see what happens. Pray with me a Linux prayer that this won't screw up my system.

I removed the bootflag on sdb1 (the second drive) which didn't show up in the partitioner. Makes no difference - I still can't see the drive (sdb) in the installer when selecting manual partitioning.

Frustrating!

May 7th, 2010, 04:20 PM

So, I ran the Linux Mint 8 installer once more, but this time I checked to see what utilities are running. Once I selected "manual partitioning" and pressed the Forward button, there is some message that it scans the partitions. Here the ps -A output:

I wonder what ntfsresize is trying to accomplish because after a while it disappears.

are you going directly in the installer?

can you boot the cd into try Ubuntu, see if you can mount the drives. unmount them and use the install ubuntu launcher on the desktop. I would do the manual install rather than auto partition.

Sorry, I somehow missed your post.

I can boot the USB stick.
I can boot the CD.
I can mount any drive I want in both USB or CD boot.
I have ALWAYS selected manual partitioning! I don't want Ubuntu touch my partitions.

So my problem, as far as I can see, only relates to manual partitioning. It simply ALWAYS misses one drive, usually sdb (depending on how many drives I have connected, sdb may refer to a different disk).

It's always n-1 (read n minus one). Go figure.

I tried both booting into Ubuntu and going directly into the installer. I also tried the --partman/alignment=cylinder option, but it makes no difference.

really sounds like a bug in the installer. Have you tried the alternate cd? or even the release candidate cd?

Same here exactly the same; I believe that the bug is related to gparted. Have you try gparted when you boot up ubuntu 10.04. On my system it says that sda unallocated although I have some partition on it.

I think that gparted or at least the same libraries are used during the installation. If someone can identify which library we might get close to a solution.

By the way my Ubuntu partition on sda is now ubuntu 10.04 since I upgraded from ubuntu 9.10 but I really need a clean install at this point I have been upgrading since ubuntu 6.10 and all kinds of weird problems are starting to sneak in.

Thanks

I just noticed this:

gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/mint/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=mint)

in your mount print out.

it would be interesting to see this mount is preventing you from installing. I'm not sure if you need gvfs-fuse-daemon to run an install. Is one of your externals a maxtor one touch - causing simplebackup to run?

umount /home/mint/.gvfs

umount -f /home/mint/.gvfs

I tried your advise and umounted /home/mint/.gvfs - it makes no difference with regard to the install. Still same n-1 problem (missing my sdb drive).

One more thing - when I have all drives connected it reports "no operating system found" (or so). When I disconnect drives and only leave the 2 I need it sees my Ubuntu 8.10, but not the Windows XP installation.

Thanks for the input. I booted up Linux Mint 8 and ran gparted - it detects ALL drives and partitions. So this is not the problem here.

May 8th, 2010, 12:11 AM

I like to summarize:

Both Ubuntu 10.04 and Linux Mint 8 (based on Ubuntu 9.10) do not allow me to manually partition the drive(s). Both of them always miss to see one out of several drives, in my case sdb when running my 5 internal drives.
When I disconnect 3 of the 5 drives, it still detects one drive less, that is it detects only one drive.
I can't install because I use 2 drives for Linux (and Windows XP): Here the drive/partitions setup (when running my old Linux 8.10 that is installed):
sda1 Windows XP - boot flag
sda2 swap
sda3 /home
sdb1 /boot - boot flag
sdb2 /
sdb3 MS_data (NTFS data drive)

The other 3 disks carry only a single partition:
sdc1 - NTFS partition
sdd1 - ext3
sde1 - NTFS

With Ubuntu 10.04 the last disk above is detected as sda, the others are in the same order so sda becomes sdb, etc. The pendrive I use for the install is detected as sdf.

really sounds like a bug in the installer. Have you tried the alternate cd? or even the release candidate cd?

I tried the alternate install but it didn't work at all. Might be a problem with the USB drive (I used the pendrivelinux utility to install the alternate Ubuntu ISO, selecting it as "other" - I think the alternate CD is not listed as an option in the selection menu). I've been using a different USB drive and it doesn't work on my PC - it did work on my laptop (it started and the menu came up). If I find another empty CD I'll burn it on CD and give it a try.

I have not tried the release candidate CD.

Thanks for the input. I booted up Linux Mint 8 and ran gparted - it detects ALL drives and partitions. So this is not the problem here.

What about when you boot up from the Ubuntu 10.04 and run gparted? Mine says that sda unallocated although I have 3 partition on it.

Removing dmraid with 'sudo apt-get remove dmraid' in a terminal while in the livecd desktop fixed the issue for me.

Hope this helps.

Tried this but it didn't work for me :(

I think you should look at the dmraid link, I just noticed this in your udevadm post
for /dev/sdb

was this drive used in a raid before?

olffred is absolutely correct, if you are not using raid but your drives contain old meta data, that data must be erased before the drive(s) will be treated as non raid under 10.04.

But, be very careful that your drives are not actually raid drives because the act of erasing the meta data will destroy all the data on those drives. Check for what is listed in /dev/mapper. If it contains nothing or only symbolic link for only the raid drive as a whole (ie /dev/mapper/nvidia_aebhdfib) and not individual partitions (ie /dev/mapper/nvidia_aebhdfib1 ...2 ...5 etc) then the raid is empty and it would be safe to erase. To be safe run sudo dmraid -ay ffirst in a terminal before checking /dev/mapper. I have see incidents of people who didn't know, even insisted they had no raid drives, destroy their data.:roll:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8927189&postcount=5

I had a look at the thread. I'm not sure this is the problem. Here is what I have (I need to verify this when I get home, but I'm pretty certain):

# Northbridge: Intel® P965 Express Chipset
# Southbridge: Intel® ICH8R
- the SATAII0 to SATAII5 connectors are supported by the ICH8R
# Gigabyte SATA2 which is a JMicron-based SATA controller (this seems to be recognized by Ubuntu as it appears in the udevadm database) - this chip takes care of SATAII6 - SATAII7

If I'm not mistaken, the board is a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3P, but I'll check this when I have access to the computer.

The SATA drive setting within the BIOS is "IDE" (not RAID and not AHCI or whatever). I also do NOT want to change this, because I read that this would mean a reinstall of Windows XP, which is the last thing I want to do.

Hello Gooched,

Thanks for the link. This looks promising! For one thing, my problem appears with both Ubuntu 9.10 (Linux Mint 8) and Ubuntu 10.04.

I have to try this when I get home.

Just to clarify - when I boot 10.04 or 9.10 and run gparted or any other partitioner I see all the drives and partitions. Only when I run the installer it always misses one drive! I don't get unallocated partitions.

I think you should look at the dmraid link, I just noticed this in your udevadm post
for /dev/sdb

E: ID_FS_TYPE=isw_raid_member
E: ID_FS_USAGE=raid

was this drive used in a raid before?

Thanks, I agree this could be the problem. I believe the link Gooched provided above points in the same direction (dmraid).

The drive was never used in a RAID. At one point or another, I may have played with some BIOS settings (that must have been 3 years ago when I bought the motherboard and installed the first 2 drives).

I noticed the entries above but didn't pay too much attention since all partitioning tools (gparted, etc.) work fine when I boot into 10.04 or 9.10. Only the installer doesn't cope with it.

Yo umay have to remove the raid meta data from the drive:

Presence1960 on remove old raid setting from HD - DO NOT run if raid system:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1325650
sudo dmraid -E -r /dev/sda
sudo dmraid -E -r /dev/sdb
Also check BIOS for raid settings

Hello oldfred,

Thanks very much for the help. I will test your solution once I get home. This one looks most promising. Others have suggested to deinstall dmraid after booting into Ubuntu 10.04 but before running the installer, which may also work. But since sdb is identified incorrectly as RAID drive, your approach should set things right again.

Thanks again,
Heiko

Looking at all the posts, I think we are onto something. I can only test it in the evening when I get home, but I promise you'll be the first to know.

From the input here I am planning to do the following:
1. Check the BIOS settings to make sure there is no RAID set anywhere.
2. sudo dmraid -ay to see what this reveals.
3. Check for what is listed in /dev/mapper - there shouldn't be RAID partitions defined.
4. If it's save, I'll run sudo dmraid -E -r /dev/sdb to remove the RAID settings on the disk (sdb).

Wish me luck.

Here the results:

sudo dmraid -ay
ERROR: isw device for volume "Volume0" broken on /dev/sdb in RAID set "isw_bggeahjjab_Volume0"
ERROR: isw: wrong # of devices in RAID set "isw_bggeahjjab_Volume0" [1/2] on /dev/sdb
RAID set "isw_bggeahjjab_Volume0" was not activated

sudo dmraid -E -r /dev/sdb
Do you really want to erase "isw" ondisk metadata on /dev/sdb ? [y/n] :y

The installer detected ALL drives and partitions !!!!

I'm in the process of installing the system (still downloading some stuff).

THANKS TO ALL OF YOU !!!

I will try to compile some summary / advisory for others who go through the same. It looks like the same problem could be tackled in different ways (uninstalling dmraid, for example).
