[SuSE Linux] Need help with a somewhat off topic Question

A freind of mine just called me, she had got a computer from her father, but at boot up, after HD, CD, CPU data displayed etc verified it halt at a point saying: "Verifying DMI pool data...." and ther it stays, no way to come futher. Never heard about DMI, anyone have a hint of what this can be? Joakim - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
