[all variants] hang on ``Verifying DMI Pool Data`` at boot

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – I was running Ubuntu with an uptime for some two weeks or so. After downloading Black Mesa Source today, I attempted to boot into Windows 7 to install the recently released mod but I got an error message before Grub2 loaded. The message read, “BOOTMGR is missing.” I then booted my Ubuntu Live disc and Googled the error message. I can’t recall exactly what it was that nudged me towards the conclusion that it was my two mass storage USB sticks plugged into my PC. I have my boot priority in my BIOS set to USB-HDD, CD Drive and then hard disk. My BIOS was probably looking for an O/S on t (Hardware)

[ubuntu] Installing from CD 24 weeks 5 days ago

Hi. So I am not a first-time Linux user and I have dual-booted in the past. But today I wanted to install Ubuntu 12.04 alongside Windows 7, but when I restarted my computer with the Ubuntu live disc, it just went straight to Windows. I set the CD Drive to be the first to load on my BIOS already.

After rebooting from my Arch install, grub2-bios gave me a normal.mod is not found error message. I cannot rescue from Grub or boot into any Lived from the BIOS; for the Ubuntu Image I am just confronted with a blinking cursor on a black screen. I have tried two different pen drives, plus three different USB2/USB3 slots, none will boot.

I extracted the .iso onto a disk, and tried to boot from it. For the longest time, it wouldn't even boot, instead, it would bypass it and boot from the hard drive, until I swapped my newer disk drive for an older one. When I finally got it to boot, I got the black screen.

F17 with Windows Boot Manager 39 weeks 5 days ago

I am trying to install F17 on a Asus G75 Laptop. I shrank the Window7 partition using the windows disk management utility. Then installed F17 using a installation DVD. To boot the DVD I set the BIOS Boot Option Priority to “P2: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GT51M” and installed Fedora without any problem. I removed the install DVD to reboot the computer.

Hi, I recently decided that I want to run a dual boot of Ubuntu 9.10 (main) and Winblows XP (games).
