I had the same problem with 10.04 booting from an USB stick. I wanted to install on a PATA HDD (/dev/sda) that would never show up in the devices proposed for installation. gparted showed the HDD though. I tried with and without an additional SATA HDD in the machine with no result.
Running the liveCD then sudo apt-get remove dmraid (as explained in post #28) made /dev/sda to show up in the installer. Installation on the way.
