Description of problem: After the last update (June 10) the system restart by itself and during boot an error that Hal cannot be started is shown. After that, sound system is dead and my usb-modem (my only internet connection!) refuses to work. See this thread on the fedora forums: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=194013
Although I experienced this same problem with Fedora 8, I decided my resolution was to reformat and install Fedora 9. My problems have gone away, HAL correctly starts now.
After the recent updates of packages hal, hal-info, hal-libs, and hal-devel, I had the same problem. Reverting just hal-info from version 20080607-2 to the FC8 base release 20071030-1 sufficed to repair my system. The output of hald prior to the crash: 22:14:53.134 [E] acpi.c:758: Couldn't open /proc/acpi/button/sleep: Error opening directory '/proc/acpi/button/sleep': No such file or directory 22:14:53.134 [I] acpi.c:837: Processing sonypi display 22:14:53.134 [I] osspec.c:431: ACPI capabilities found 22:14:53.134 [I] osspec.c:439: Done synthesizing events *** [DIE] device_info.c:rules_match_and_merge_device():1089 : Rule is NULL on jump 22:14:53.135 [D] addon-input.c:486: An error occured, exiting cleanly My hardware: Fujitsu Lifebook P7120.
The same after update. Hal 0.5.10-3.fc8. Kernel 2.6.25.10-46.fc8

I too had the same problem, it is OK to update all hal except from hal-info. Have not gotten around yet to working out what the problem is with this.

Duplicate of bug 452701. There are RPMs with the fix linked in that bug, too.
