Topic: Verifying dmi pool data??

[Frezza]

Hi.. I've got a problem during installation...
During the first reboot my computer freezes when "Verifying dmi pool data"... Whatever that means... I've tried two different installation discs... Same problem... Everything works fine until the reeboot...

That's a BIOS message. It's verifying all the settings it has matches the hardware and stuff.

Sounds as though SME isn't writing the boot sector correctly.  If you don't mind trying everything again, get the drive utilities from the manufacturer of your SME box's hard drive & wipe the drive COMPLETELY (typically this will be something like "write zeroes").  You might also boot from a Windows boot disk & do the ever-useful "fdisk /mbr" to clean up the boot record (SME will overwrite, of course).  I'd look at getting your system's BIOS up to date also.
