[Bug 1089026] [NEW] Hard Drives Not Available For Install

[AJ]

Public bug reported:

A fresh install on a Lenovo laptop fails to detect hard drives properly,
unless I apt-get remove dmraid.

I have disabled Intel quick booting from the BIOS, and disabled EFI.  I
set the SATA compatibility mode to AHCI.  I could see disks with fdisk,
lshw, and parted, however the installer did not list them as
possibilities during the install.  Only the USB stick was listed as a
candidate disk for installation.  Manual disk partitioning also did not
show the correct drives.

I tried Kubuntu 12.10, and Ubuntu 12.04 with identical results.
