Re: Start-up gets stuck at "Verifying DMI Pool"

It might not hurt, but I'd just try telling it to reset the PnP/DMI pool, first, since that's basically where its hanging. Detecting hardware and assiging IRQ's.

If its successful, add the cards you removed, one at a time, and repeat the process until you find the card that's causing problems. Additionally, if you've added any new hardware, that's the first place to look.
