System hangs while booting

While booting it's saying starting smartd and the system hangs for ever.So what I do is to boot the system in single user mode,then start the service smartd manually by

Code:

service smartd start

,them init 5,then continue as normal...What should I do to fix this..

The information that you have given not enough to short-out problem, do you really need smartd daemon for hard disk health monitoring?

Are you enabled hardisk 32/16-bit mod?
Dma is on/off?

check dma with following command
hdparm -d /dev/sda (/dev/sda is your harddisk drive)
also check which operatioal mod the hdd is, using the following command
hdparm -c /dev/sda

please give me the O/P

I dont know what the smartd daemon does,actually 2 days before I was outside and my system was running as some downlod works were going on.When I returned there was no power and my system was shutted down as all backups of my UPS were also finished .After then this problem has arised...

if you are not using smartd daemon then just turn off it from your all runlevels

Hdd Parameters are seems to be fine.
To check the file system errors do a fsck manually from init 1
