I tried to modify the booting order so it can recognize the OS. However, I cannot see Biolinux listed despite of completing the installation successfully.
This can have a lot of reasons and we have to start somewhere: You probably can boot from some CD/DVD/USB-Stick. Do that, open a command window and type parted /dev/sda, then press "p" (for "print") to list the partition table. The picture you see shoud be similar to this one:
Notice there is a 2G boot-partititon formatted as ext3. Only the rest is LVM-controlled. Linux can't boot from LVM-partitions (yet). If your layout looks very different then post it here.
Does anyone know a good driver site. If you've heard of driverguide.com or driversearch.com please do not reccomend them because I already know them. I need to know where to get Motherboard drivers for a homemade computer. If there is any info that you need to know feel free to make a reply.

pvck
PVCK(8) System Manager's Manual PVCK(8)NAME
pvck - check physical volume metadata
SYNOPSIS
pvck [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [-v|--verbose] [--labelsector] PhysicalVolume [PhysicalVolume...]
DESCRIPTION
pvck checks physical volume LVM metadata for consistency.
OPTIONS
See lvm for common options.
--labelsector sector
By default, 4 sectors of PhysicalVolume are scanned for an LVM label, starting at sector 0. This parameter allows you to specify a
different starting sector for the scan and is useful for recovery situations. For example, suppose the partition table is corrupted
or lost on /dev/sda, but you suspect there was an LVM partition at approximately 100 MB. This area of the disk may be scanned by
using the --labelsector parameter with a value of 204800 (100 * 1024 * 1024 / 512 = 204800):
pvck --labelsector 204800 /dev/sda
Note that a script can be used with --labelsector to automate the process of finding LVM labels.
