Comment 1 David Zeuthen 2004-08-31 11:54:59 UTC
Please upgrade to the latest version from Rawhide and see if that
fixes the problems. The latest version is hal-devel-0.2.97.cvs20040827-3.

If that fails please ensure all hald processes are killed and attach
the output of 'hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes' running as root. I need
the debug up until the line 'Device probing completed'. Should this
crash, please attach stack trace; see 

 http://fedora.linux.duke.edu/wiki/StackTraces

on how to generate good stack traces.

Thanks!
David

Comment 2 David Zeuthen 2004-09-27 18:14:33 UTC
Is this still an issue or may I close this bug?

Comment 3 Orion Poplawski 2004-10-01 21:51:34 UTC
I'm seeing the same thing on different hardware.  Install is fc3test2
with hal updated to hal-0.2.98.cvs20040929-1.

Last couple lines of hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes:

[I] callout.c:332: Invoking /etc/hal/devices.d/printer_remove.hal
[I] hald.c:80: Added device to GDL;

[I] linux/osspec.c:758: handling /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.3 pci

and there the machine hangs.

Comment 4 David Zeuthen 2004-10-19 01:48:12 UTC
I think this got fixed just a week ago as that particular sysfs
directory probably contains files that are not readable and I got a
patch to check for that. Please try the latest hal from Rawhide. 

Thanks,
David

Comment 5 David Zeuthen 2004-12-09 17:26:02 UTC
Closing this bug since there was no reply. Feel free to reopen if
hal-0.4.2-1.FC3 doesn't work for you (available from fc3 updates).

Comment 6 Piotr Blaszczyk 2004-12-13 19:04:34 UTC
I upgraded three i386 boxes from FC2 to FC3 and starting haldaemon on
any of them is impossible.

Comment 7 David Zeuthen 2004-12-13 19:33:24 UTC
You need to 'service messagebus start'

Comment 8 Piotr Blaszczyk 2004-12-13 22:15:22 UTC
Thank you, David. I might have stopped the service myself in the
services after installation... now hald starts and my camera
beautifully plugs in very hot.
