Bug Description

It saw drive 0 but it was listed after the storage drives. I couldn't install it to drive 0 automatically and don't have enough knowledge and didn't have enough time to configure drive 0 manually as the OS drive. I had to shut down, disconnect the storage drives, and restart setup. Doing that finally allowed this cursed installation to complete successfully.

Dell PowerEdge T310 Service Tag CYC2QM1 - no RAID card installed.

I'm afraid I don't really understand this report. If you still have access to the system can you attach the contents of /var/log from the live session to this report?

No I can't.

What's to understand? Subiquity doesn't see drive 0 to install to
automatically. A more experienced person might have gotten by this - I
couldn't.

Well OK I guess I understand that much -- but without logs I cannot do anything useful.
