Puck님께 죄송... 드디어 솔루션을 구했습니다! 근데 그냥 가르쳐줄려니 아깝네요... (밥이라도 사주시면) 000___kidding___000 의외로 yahoo에서 서치해보니까 쉽게 나오군요. 일단은 바이오스에서 하드를 AutoDetect가 되어있으면 생긴답니다. Award 바이오스기준으로 말씀드리면 IDE HDD AUTODETECTION(?)를 하시면 사이즈를 정해주고, Standard CMOS Setup에서 USER로 보일겁니다. 그럼 끝... 그외에 바이오스 업그레이드를 하시고(주의해서), 디폴트 셋팅을 맞 추시고 pci irq같은 것도 수동으로 잡으시면 안정적일 겁니다. (저는 PnP를 싫어해서...) 다음은 원문입니다. ************************************************************** http://www.daileyint.com/hmdpc/mqcpu.htm 5/21/98 (Q) I have a 233 MHz Pentium MMX NT 4.0 workstation in the shop which freezes on boot immediately after the message "Verifying DMI pool" appears. When I try booting with a DOS floppy, it says "Starting MS-DOS" after the DMI pool message, but still locks up. I've tried 3 different motherboards (same manufacturer), removing or swapping all of the adapters, disconnecting the CD, no luck. What is a DMI pool, and how do I get passed it? Ken (A) The Desktop Management Interface (DMI), is a BIOS implemented mechanism for tracking installed hardware, which will either become more standard or fall by the wayside. There is also an Advanced Desktop Management (ADM) scheme I'm entirely unfamiliar with. It's not to be confused with Desktop Management Information (DMI) which is part of the specification for remote admistration of networked PCs. The specific problem on your PC (I was able to drop by Ken's shop) is that the hard drive was set to "Auto" in the CMOS, but after a couple months, boot time detection was taking too long and the system was freezing. By using the "Autodetect" BIOS feature once, the hard drive parameters were permanently saved as a "User Type", and the problem went away. The oddest part of the problem was the half-boot of the floppy, which worked when the boot sequence was switched to A:C. A little web research showed some other common reasons and fixes for this problem. Some systems upgraded to Win95 OSR2 or NT 4.0 from DOS 6.2 seem to leave too many shreds of DOS on the drive and fail to boot after installation is complete. This may be cured by SYSing the drive with a boot floppy formatted by the correct operating system. Another reason for lockup after "Verifying DMI pool" can be new hardware that the current BIOS version has trouble with. Flash upgrades fixing such problems are commonly available from the motherboard or BIOS manufacturer.
