Public bug reported:

May need better support for LVM during instilation.. (please)
Adding a LVM option line in teh installer might be all it needs

Set up I need is Full disk encryption+LVM+striped across 2 SSD drives....  on a 
laptop(2 drive max)
mdadm raid 0 is not the same as the disk will not match as one will dual boot 
gaming platform Win7 for planetside2

What I was doing... 
sudo pvcreate /dev/sda1
sudo pvcreate /dev/sdb1

sudo vgcreate Stripe2SSD /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1
sudo lvcreate -i 2 -I 8 -L 420000M  Stripe2SSD
sudo mkfs.ext3 -m 0 /dev/Stripe2SSD/lvol0

Install ubuntu and manually config disk.
Install went fine but 
     'grub-install /dev/sda' failed
said put the boot loader in the LVM when a while and it crashed.

Since I cant patition inside the LVM from the installer either so I made each 
partition match and created 3 LVMs, /, /home,swap...
      pvcreate /dev/sda1
      pvcreate /dev/sda3
      pvcreate /dev/sda5
      pvcreate /dev/sdc1
      pvcreate /dev/sdc3
      pvcreate /dev/sdc5
     sudo vgcreate Stripe2SSD /dev/sda3 /dev/sdc3
     sudo vgcreate Stripe2SSDboot /dev/sda1 /dev/sdc1
     sudo vgcreate Stripe2SSDswap /dev/sda5 /dev/sdc5
     sudo lvcreate -i 2 -I 256 -L 247000M  Stripe2SSD
     sudo lvcreate -i 2 -I 256 -L 18000M  Stripe2SSDboot
     sudo lvcreate -i 2 -I 256 -L 15000M  Stripe2SSDswap
manual install and Asigned the /,/home, swap + format
Install went fine but 
     'grub-install /dev/sda' failed
# said install the boot in /dev/sda ...   worked a bit.. then it crashed before 
finishing the install 

Description:    Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Release:        14.04
- expected grub to use the location the boot location it used before.. 
- It would be really nice to have the LVM options in the simple partition 
choice, or add it to the menu in the advanced installer. 

Love Ubuntu, Thanks for all the work,
