Thanks to all the replies... Very interesting stuff... However I'm still trying to understand how to have a hardware RAID 5 (4x 1TB disk) system and load CentOS on it. I'm looking for the UEFI bios but don't understand this. I want to install LVM on top of the single RAID volume, then I can create several LVMs like the HowTos, Wikis and Blogs all say. I just can't get over this first hurdle and get the OS to boot.
any other thoughts?
I thought that if UEFI is enabled in the bios (you didn't select some legecy mode...) the installer would detect and use it. I managed to do that accidentally on one machine that I was setting up as a master image and then found that at the time, neither clonezilla nor rear could make a bootable copy. I think they've both been fixed since. There may be some additional problem with grub and /boot on a >2TB partition, though. Mine wasn't that big.
