Ubuntu installer does not recognize drive

[maxwevers]

Hi,

I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.04.1 AMD64 on my new system (i5-760, P55 Board). Unfortunately the installer does not recognize my drive, however Gparted does see the drive and I can manually setup partitions there, but those do not show up in the installer. The SATA controller is set to AHCI mode, but is not configured as RAID. Screenshot attached.

I also uploaded the debug output from ubiquity, but I couldn't find any clues in it.


Any help would be much appreciated!

The screenshot shows Ubuntu already installed. Are you trying to install over the current setup?

Change it to "Legacy IDE" or whatever the IDE mode is. Then the installer should see the disk and partitions. When you have finished installation and verified that the system is booting and running correctly, you can change the SATA mode back to AHCI, and it should boot and run right.

No, I just setup the partitions manually, but it didn't help.

I will try to change back to IDE mode.

Try this:
sudo apt-get remove dmraid

And the run the installer.

dmraid was indeed the problem. Strange, I thought I tried to unistall it before ;) However now it worked.

Thank you all very much!
