[Bug 1267093] [NEW] Manual Partitioning unable to set Bootable flag to on.

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I have downloaded the Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS 64-bit Server Installer today
and burned it to disk.

I am trying to setup a software RAID 1 array because the Installer doesn't recognise my Intel hardware RAID1 array 
(brand new Gigabyte Motherboard.)

trying to follow many tutorials and the instructions of experts in the
Ubuntu Forums made me realise that the Installer has been changed since
all of the tutorials were written. A lot of options are different or
missing, or indeed added that weren't there originally.

When manually Partitioning,
When you create a new Partition, you are no longer given the choice of Primary or Logical, and there is now no way to set the Bootable Flag to "on"

This of course means the instal fails.

I believe there is no other way to do a software RAID1 instal than by
manually partitioning so that means you can now no longer do a software
RAID 1 instal of 12.04.3 LTS

I have discovered at least one other who has tried with a "new installer" and is having this trouble,
In the comments of this post:
http://www.itfromscratch.com/install-ubuntu-server-12-04-with-encrypted-lvm-on-raid1/3/

I have also read other people complaining about RAID1 setup failures and
many different ways of trying to manually instal grub after the failed
instal.

I think this should be looked into.
I can't find anywhere to report it as a bug.

Anybody who could shed any light on this would be much appreciated.
