Public bug reported:
This should be an easy problem to replicate and fix. I was installing
18.04lts server on a system with two identical disks in a raid 1 config.
When i did the partitioning, i did not set the bootable flag on any of
the partitions. (I had in fact reused the partitioning from a 14.04
install but since you cannot go directly from 14.04 to 18.04, i decided
to just blow away / and reinstall.)
The issue is that at the point of partitioning, it should have told me
that i did not have a bootable partition, rather than letting me get
most of the way through and then hanging at the start of the grub
install.
For all of my other machines, i use the desktop installer with the gui
and that does not seem to ever ask me to mark a partition as bootable so
having to do it for the server install was a novel situation.
