HI folks.
Well, I had to get into the BIOS to change the reboot after power outage setting. I had fastboot on, so I had to reset the CMOS, where I should have just pulled a plug on a drive to force it to happen (I'm assuming, as I was told this).
So I changed the power-up setting. But all my other choices in the original BIOS settings are gone. I have to SSDs in there, each 120GB, and I can't seem to get this thing to boot up again. I can't remember if I set this up with a RAID or not. The OS is good, it was booting up in two seconds, but I can't seem to get it to go now.
I chose drive 1, didn't boot. I chose drive 3, didn't boot. No other drives. Then I remembered fussing with RAID. So I enabled SATA Controllers, then went into Advanced/Storage Configuration and switched SATA Mode Configuration to RAID.
Saved settings, rebooted. Still no boot.
So I'm stuck. I'm not sure what is missing. Anybody have any ideas how I can get this working again?
Cheers

I've tried everything. I can't figure this out.
If I just reset the CMOS and set the drives up, as well as tried both non-RAID and RAID for settings, would the box not just see the previous drives and move forward with booting with the OS? I don't see what else is different, nor why it would matter.
Anybody have any insight? It won't grab those drives as a valid boot volume for some reason.

A 20 ms screen that I caught, said there is no `RAID`. Still can't choose that drive though.

Looks like a boot loader issue (grub) on CentOS now. Investigating.
