Wow, I spent 2 days trying to figure out why after upgrading a server to Fedora 11, the system wouldn’t boot. It would either throw a system boot failure error or hang at the ‘Verifying DMI Pool Data’ line. This was only when I plugged in a third drive — it didn’t matter which one. And in the BIOS boot order the only thing listed would be ‘Bootable Add-In Cards’, and not my drives. Turns out it really matters the order in which you plug in drives with the ATA cable! I’m still not totally clear on in, but once I saw this image I switched the cable around and it worked!
