Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Ubiquity says gNewsense ( /dev/hda1) and Fedora core (/dev/hda2) are on /dev/sdax partitions.

While this may be logical from the point of the installing OS, it is confusing, as neither of these systems appear to boot those sda partitions. both of them say they are booting /dev/hda[1,2].

While grub managed to install them so they boot up properly (thanksfully), i feel this naming is a problem.

I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do about this. From Ubuntu's point of view that's where they *are*. I have absolutely no way to know the partition naming used by another OS.

Changed in ubiquity:
assignee: nobody → kamion
