You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I could confirm this behavior at two separate installs.

I start installing using the 11.04 installer, choose device etc. and go
through the whole install process, which works fine (partitioning,
formatting, copying, creating users etc.)

At the very last step, a dialog pops up telling me that e.g. /dev/sda
cannot be written to (which is correct, since I have a BIOS-RAID
installed, correctly detected to be at /dev/mapper/somehashcode-of-my-
raid).

The problem here is, that I can choose any other device to install the bootloader to from the dropdown box shown, but neither cancel nor OK buttons work, regardsless of the option chosen (1. write to specified disk, 2. don't install bootloader, 3. abort).
The close "x" window icon doesn't work either.

Additonally there is no "restart" option in the shutdown menu at that
time, which leaves me hard-booting the system.
