I installed Fedora 23 from USB and network, with AHCI enabled, as I want to use software RAID. During the Fedora setup I specified /boot as a 1GB RAID 1 ext3 filesystem across my two drives, which are installed in the left-hand two slots. I observed the installation process setting up the boot image with no obvious problem.
On boot-up, the BIOS tries to boot from from hard disk (er - "C:" ) and fails to find a disk to boot from. Have I hit something that this machine cannot do? I would have thought a simple 2-drive setup like this was easy!
(I do not want to use onboard RAID, as I want to reduce the risk of not being able to read these disks on a different machine if this one has failed. Also my old MS server became unfixable because there was no linux utility that could manage the hardware RAID and resync drives etc. - it was only available in WIndows... The whole fake-RAID thing is a mess, hence me using software RAID.).
Could this be an issue with the filesystem type I have used, or the size of it, or the fact that it is mirrored?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: MS Gen8 server cannot boot Fedora 23 from disk
That should be a fairly simple installation. Where did the boot loader get installed? Maybe the installer chose the USB key instead of the hard drive, I've seen that happen before.
