I am having this problem as well. The disks partitions were setup with Ubuntu 8.04 gParted, so I am not quite certain how Xubuntu can not read the partitions. (I did notice a line in the syslog about the sd driver needing to be updating "Sep 17 00:23:07 ubuntu kernel: [ 78.961984] Driver 'sd' needs updating - please use bus_type methods" I don't know if this is a help.) I have booted Ubuntu 8.04 and it can see the partitions fine. I will attach my Ubuntu syslog and partlog after I try deleting the partition I was going to reinstall to and see if that is a work around.
As mentioned several times fdisk can see the partitions fine.
