My Core i7 is a 6 core with Hyperthreading as well. I am forced to run Windows though because the monitoring tools and software provided by the motherboard is needed for the Chipset to function properly, and that is stupid as. The machine also has a forced UEFI BIOS (an ASUS one) and there is no way to disable secure boot. However, I can run VMWare with all 6 cores and a max of 15GB of RAM. I will look and see at a later time if I can get LFS on one of my RAIDed drives, however.
Hmm. I have an ASUS X99-A motherboard. It was tricky, but I was able to disable the UEFI software. Debian installed a uefi partition and the system insisted that it must use uefi, but when I removed the partition, it went back to a standard BIOS type of boot.
I don't use RAID, but I'd recommend a non-raid grub partition (1 Meg) and a non-raid /boot (200M). Once the kernel boots, then you can mount / as a raid partition with the correct drivers built into the kernel.
