Centos 7 not booting from Dell Perc 6i raid 0

centos7dell-poweredge

I recently obtained a poweredge 2900 (unknown generation) tower with a perc 6i controller and built and initalize a raid 0 array from 2 146gb sas drives. During the centos installation it does see and install to the virtual drive, but after a reboot the server complains that it cannot find a boot device.

Does this have something to do with the Perc 6i firmware (1.21.02 I think) or centos incapable of booting from the virtual disk?

You should set your VD to be bootable via PERC BIOS, there's an option to select Bootable VD under Ctrl Mgmt menu.
