I'm trying to install Ubuntu server 26.04 on a lenovo e50-80, looking at surface level logs I'm getting a disk probe failure. I've attached an image of the crash screen and whatever logs I managed to get from /var/log/installer. Same error happens on my desktop and I haven't managed to find anything actionable online. Help would be appreciated. The Lenovo isn't the actual machine it is intended on (that would be the desktop) but getting the thing to install onto the lenovo would be a step towards success. Install medium is an intenso stick that has Ventoy installed.

open the Disks application in the live environment. make sure it can see your internal drive which you want to install on.

yeah. I'm REALLY not a fan of LVM
format that drive sda back to normal, and do the install
GPT partition table

remind me what's the command?

give me a sec
see vid at time listed... #1502896343335698492 message
or bit before that.
all CLI stuff shown there for reformatting a drive
and don't choose LVM in the ubuntu server installer

I'm running into issues doing it that way
the video goes to fdisk, then inoputs d and gives the partition number. For me it just complains thatr no partition has been chosen

scrolling back only gets me to the explanation on wifi

make sure working on sda
probably dont need to zero-out the drive
at 17:35 , essentially, but use gpt not msdos
if it still fails to detect drives/devices in ubuntu installer, then redo the ISO with something else, not ventoy

any news/progress on this, @jaunty forum ?
