Does Fedora 29 support the Intel RST (Rapid Storage Technology) chip for hardware RAID? My new ThinkPad P72 came with an RST chip set up with two 2TB PCIe M.2 SSDs in a RAID1 config. The Fedora-29-MATE-Compiz spin DVD doesn't "see" it. Nor does Clonezilla.
I've only seen this with a small flash drive and a large spinning drive. In the few cases I've run into this, I've turned off the RST to be able to install.
There's a BIOS mode setting for the Intel RST: "RST" mode for RAID, and "AHCI" mode for separate SATA drives. Changing that setting to AHCI will probably break the RAID1 array and render the P72 unbootable. I don't know if that would a destructive, irreversible change, or if changing the mode setting back to RST would restore everything.
At least in the ones I've worked with, turning RST off in the BIOS does not corrupt anything. But they've been in a much different configuration than you have.
