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 think you still need to have /boot on a non-LVM partition. A small 500MB partition is sufficient. You might also need to disable "secure boot" or some such option in the bios.
