    Attempting to create a VM of Skywave Linux 5.1.0 - The installer can't see my virtual disk. Any ideas what to try. I've tried removing ACPI and specifying "noacpi" (which was critical to booting from USB on a desktop system). Any assistance would be appreciated. Cheers!

    Just tried 5.2.0, no joy. (Terrible) screeshot attached, but you can see that the OS recognized a disk "sda", but (as you might be able to see) there's no partitions to install to. I've installed Linux on bare metal and VMs for years, but having no luck. I also tried to create a primary and a swap partition manually. Any advice for building a 5.2.0 VM appreciated. Thanks!

    I have the same problem with 5.2.0 on bare metal. The installer does not run automatically when booting the ISO from a USB stick, and when launching the installer manually, no partitions are detected. It's an older system with a normal SATA SSD.

    Problem still exists in vbox on 5.3. Except it looks like gparted can see the disk now even though calamares cannot.
