A virtual machine does not always helps to diagnose hardware related
issues and the VM can be using a different set of kernel modules for the
disks.
Anyway, what error are you getting when booting? Can you reach the GRUB's
menu?

There are similar installation errors reported here:

But that shouldn't have additional drawbacks other than the warning.
My guess is that the problem here is booting from the raid volume.
