Binary package hint: ubiquity

I cant find any reson why partitioner would take more then 30 minutes to start. Well it cant see all the partitions right. cfdisk works and so does

Hello
Sorry for the delay . Ubuntu installer whiped my partition table, so i had alot of reinstalls(win and dapper).
(fixmbr or grub-install didnt help)
Hope this helps i included file you asked for + fdisk -l and the /var/log/ map too.

Weard thing is that :

partman log :

parted_server: OUT: 1 primary ntfs /dev/hda1
parted_server: OUT: 5 logical ext3 /dev/hda5
parted_server: OUT: 6 logical ntfs /dev/hda6
parted_server: OUT: 7 logical unknown /dev/hda7
parted_server: OUT: 8 logical unknown /dev/hda8
parted_server: OUT: -1 pri/log free /dev/hda-1

and new fdisk -l after repartining of disk from win :

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 2550 20482843+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda2 2551 20022 140343840 f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hda5 2551 3825 10241406 e W95 FAT16 (LBA)
/dev/hda6 3826 11474 61440561 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda7 11475 12111 5116671 e W95 FAT16 (LBA)
/dev/hda8 12112 20022 63545076 e W95 FAT16 (LBA)

reality :
/dev/hda1 NTFS
/dev/hda2 NO FILESYSTEM/NOT FORMATED (i ll install ubuntu there )
/dev/hda5 NTFS
/dev/hda6 NOT FORMATED
/dev/hda7 NOT FORMATED
/dev/hda8 NOT FORMATED

sorry there is no /dev/hda2 only 1 primary and the rest is on extended so /dev/hda5 is next in row.

It turns out that this is bug 58500. I'll mark this one as a duplicate, since the other contains more useful information. I'll have it fixed for the Edgy beta release.
