Bug Description

The Ubuntu 12.04 DVD amd64 installer could not install a bootloader probably since I'm installing on a system which has RAID on it. I installed mdadm manually before starting the installer.

In the error message window I opted for not trying to install a bootloader at all. The window wouldn't go away, and eventually I clicked on the close button in the titlebar, and the installer crashed.
