Title:
  Ubuntu 12.04 alternate install with LUKS fails on SSD

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  System:
  Lenovo W500, 8 GB RAM
  Transcend SSD720 256 GB
  USB Stick with Ubuntu 12.04 alternate installer

  New install of Ubuntu 12.04, for disk selected: guided partition, entire partition with LVM and LUKS encryption
  Installation seems to work as expected. Last step that asks for "Install GRUB" does NOT happen, system just boots.

  result /boot is empty

  Manually booted and manually mounted LUKS partitions: partitions are
  there.

  Tested with standard disk: works as expected.

  Suspicion: the SSD might be to fast, so installer mixes things up?
