Other partitions on the installer disk cannot be selected for installation #569

Describe the bug The installer doesn't show disks that contain the installation environment.

I copied the contents of the installation ISO to a small partition on my SSD, and booted from it. I'd like to install Elementary on a large partition on the same drive. At the moment, this is impossible as the drive is hidden in the installer.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Copy the contents of the installation ISO to a partition on a disk
  2. Give the partition an ESP GUID, or use either efibootmgr or a bootloader to launch the installation environment
  3. Launch the installer and select the custom install option
  4. Observe the lack of the disk in the partitioning screen

Expected behavior I expect all partitions other than the /cdrom partition to display on the partitioning screen.

Friendly bump as Odin is now released

It'd be great if this could be fixed in 7
