I have HP Dl120 Gen9 to install CentOS 7, I have tried to install CentOS 7 on Raid 0 (not too risky for test server) but apparently I had a problem booting it.

Next thing I did is to create a new array with Raid 5 (2.73 TB Usable in total of 4.00 TB). But still, when I installed CentOS 7, is still doesn't boot up.

How come it doesn't boot CentOS, thanks in advance for any tips.

Edit * There is no error message or any log that I could show off!

Try a different Linux distribution

Ubuntu 14.04.1 was verified working by Ubuntu on your server. There are some exceptions/details involved (drivers to install):

As far as RAID levels are concerned, go with what works for you. I'm sure you have performance requirements or price/hardware limitations. I've mentioned that RAID 10 is not a bad idea in the comments, but really you could do RAID 0 or RAID 5 for all I care as long as it meets your needs.
