Hi.
I am trying to install ClearOS 7.1 on a computer that worked fine with ClearOS 6.7 and during the installation process I get an error with the boot loader. I think it has something to do with software RAID. I tried to make bootbios 1 MiB with RAID 1, /boot 20 GiB with RAID 1, swap 16 GiB with RAID 1 and root using the rest of the capacity with RAID 5. I have five 3TB WD Red HDD. Any ideas?
Thanks.

You may want to take a look at this: How to install Raid on big GPT disks while using UEFI booting Not sure if you are using UEFI or not, which the instruction above is primarily addressing.
In your setup, 20 GB for /boot seems like a waste of some 19 GB or so. Also, I would not recommend to have /boot on Raid 5 since a disk-failure will make booting a challenge in that case... Raid 1 is better for /boot and swap.

There is a test ISO that has some UEFI updates to it. Please try it and let me know how it works:

I am having a similar problem. When I try to install ClearOS 7.4.0.204729 on my Microserver Gen8 (with BIOS dated 6/2014 or something as I have failed trying to update the BIOS) following the online guide it asks for a biosboot partition and when I try doing that in RAID 1 the system won't boot but when I accept the automatic configuration of just installing it on sda it will boot but only if the first HDD is working so I don't have redundancy. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks.
