GRUB can certainly boot off the thing, but the problem is that the kernel itself cannot detect the drive at all while it's in RAID mode (and it's currently STUCK in RAID mode, even though the Intel hardware fully supports run-of-the-mill vanilla AHCI, because of Lenovo's short-sighted and quite intentional BIOS modification that locks users out from changing their BIOS setting).
