RE: machine hangs at boot
Hello. After a recent reboot, lilo didn't load. It went through the
memory
check, and then said: "Verifying DMI Pool Data ......" and hung. I
booted
from a floppy, re-ran lilo, and it still does the same thing. Just
hangs.
Any ideas on what might be the cause of this? Tkanks
-------------------------------------------------------
the "Verifying DMI Pool Data ......" message does not come from LILO,
that is a message from your bios. If you never see the LILO (or even
just the 'L') then you never even made it into the boot block on the
disk. Try booting a dos floppy. If that fails you probably have a
hardware problem.
