View Full Version : [all variants] Cannot boot: Verifying DMI Pool Data

I've found other topics regarding this error, but none seems to resolve it on my computer.

My 80GB hard disk got broken on my old computer (bad sectors), so I tried a new installation with a 30GB disk that should be ok. Unfortunately, the computer won't boot after the successful installation. It hangs at "Verifying DMI Pool Data".

This is what I already tried:
* installation with 1 partition (/) and (no) swap
* installation with 1 small partition at the beginning of the disk (/boot), a big partition in the middle (/), and a swap partition at the end
* running e2fsck on both partitions
* checking my 1 GB memory with memtest
* reinstalling grub with grub-install
* removing all unnecessary pci cards in the computer
* removing some of the RAM
* connecting the hard disk to the main IDE controller of my mainboard (I have an additional onboard RAID controller with ATA100 support)
* searching the Net for solutions
* asking a question on the #ubuntu irc channel

None of these helped to resolve the problem. What else can I try?

Computer:
* Abit KT7A-RAID
* 1GB of RAM
* Athlon Thunderbird 900 Mhz
* Gefore 3 Ti 200
* Creative Soundblaster Player 1024 Live
* USB2 PCI card
* wired network card
* 30 GB Maxtor Diamondmax Plus 8
