Public bug reported:
The partitioner fails to detect any existing partitions. The only
alternative on manual partitioning is to erase the whole disk. I could
not proceed the installation and test.
This is a very serious problem for regular users since it erases the
partition table and causes a complete loss of all data on the computer.
REMARKS: This bug might be related to other partitioning problems such
as 138156 or 130124. The problem was experienced while testing Ubuntu
Gutsy Gibbon Tribe 5 alternate install on a Linux-friendly laptop Sony
Vaio VGN-B1XP. This particular computer has been extensively tested with
several Linux distributions and with other releases of Ubuntu without
any issues on partitioning or disk handling. (But I have to confess that
I did not test yet how it feels to erase all data on the computer,
perhaps I may experience this in the future.)
