I have problems installing ubuntu. The situation is:
I have 3 harddisks in my PC (two IDE, one scsi), with Windows and Debian
on them.
The partition structure on the first hda (120 GB) is this:
/dev/hda1 1 765 6144831 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda2 766 14592 111065377+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hda3 * 14582 14593 96390 83 Linux
/dev/hda5 766 1530 6144831 b W95 FAT32
/dev/hda6 1531 1652 979933+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda7 1653 2868 9767488+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda8 2869 4084 9767488+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda9 4085 14581 84317121 83 Linux
now my /dev/hda8 is empty, I would like to install Ubuntu there but when
I try to install, installer doesn't see the partitions on it. It can see
the partitions on hdb or sda but not on hda. I can select only the disk
itself but in this case the installer wants to make full new partition
scheme which I don't want to :)
If I change to the terminal and
fdisk -l /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc
I see all partitions in order.
Can I bypass the partitioner and tell the installer directly to use
/dev/hda8 for installing?
