Bug#1055806: installation-reports: Installer doesn't recognize laptop's SSD, but calamares does

[Pokoz Martinez <pokozmartinez@gmail.com>]

Hi Cyril and Pascal,

Thank you both for the fast response.

Cyril, I have just tested the .iso you attached to the bug report you referred to, and indeed that installer detects my UFS disk no problem!

Thank you again so much for the fast response and for all the work you do. I will rest assured now that this problem is known, and hopefully this report also contributed my small grain of sand to the Debian effort!!

I hope you have a great rest of day,

Jessie.

Hi Jessie, and thanks for reporting.

See <https://bugs.debian.org/1053937#15>, which I have yet to forward to
kernel maintainers.
