Title:
  Installation not possible: No HD detected

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  The installation of "Karmic Koala" did not work, because the HD is not
  detected by the installation. When trying 'next' in the partitioning
  screen, I get an appropriate error (something like "no root partition
  selected").

  When running the "Live CD" (after the cancelling of the installation)
  the hard drive is detected. I am able to mount the partitions or run
  gparted. (The installation shortcut "ubiquity --desktop %k gtk_ui" on
  the desktop does not work.)

  The PC uses an ASUS "P5B Deluxe" main board and a SATA hard drive
  (tried on SATA port 1 and 2). There were no fency RAID settings etc.

  Installations of previous versions (e.g. Intrepid Ibex 8.10) were
  successful, all hard drives were detected (but sometimes really slow
  after each operation during partition editing). V8.10. is still
  running as working system.
