I'm not sure if this is really the critical point or if the best hint is the message hald_runner.c:671: Error running 'hald-addon-storage': org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Disconnected: Connection was disconnected before a reply was received which I can't do anything with it. The mentioned bug 228155 states the acpi issue is solved, but why does it still log them as an error? If hal tries to open those files and takes those opening failures just as an information, going on without major problems, IMHO those opening failures should be stated as information or warning only, not as an error. So any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance Raimund
*** Bug 269304 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Well, after some upgrading/downgrading/reinstalling of hal, udev, dbus, kernel, ... one error message is gone: [E] hald_runner.c:671: Error running 'hald-addon-storage': org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Disconnected: Connection was disconnected before a reply was received by stracing the hald, I could follow up the "CRITICAL..." messages to issues with soundcards. By disabling all soundcard hardware in the kernel, also these messages went away. They seemed to be not so critical... Unfortunatly, the last message *** [DIE] hald_runner.c:runner_died():202 : Runner died still remains. That means, hal is still quitting right after startup. Any ideas about how to follow up the error? Hints are most welcome.
please paste your emerge --info.

There is one more piece of info that would be helpful to diagnose the issue and that would be the output of: $ emerge -pv hal But that being said, the following could cause the problem you had: - You built several system components (udev, hal, acpid) against old kernel-headers - You have the wrong ACPI options selected in your kernel (you want all the new ACPI options on) - A package was installed from an overlay that is superceding the official Portage version that is causing issues Additional issue with your configuration: - You have amd64, ~amd64, ~x86 in your acceptable keywords. You sometimes will pull in packages which are known not to be ready on amd64 yet. This is what your ACPI configuration in your kernel should look like: grep ACPI /usr/src/linux-2.6.29-gentoo-r4/.config CONFIG_X86_64_ACPI_NUMA=y # Power management and ACPI options CONFIG_ACPI=y # CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS is not set CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS_POWER=y CONFIG_ACPI_SYSFS_POWER=y CONFIG_ACPI_PROC_EVENT=y CONFIG_ACPI_AC=y CONFIG_ACPI_BATTERY=y CONFIG_ACPI_BUTTON=y CONFIG_ACPI_FAN=y CONFIG_ACPI_DOCK=y CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR=y CONFIG_ACPI_HOTPLUG_CPU=y CONFIG_ACPI_THERMAL=y CONFIG_ACPI_NUMA=y # CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT is not set CONFIG_ACPI_BLACKLIST_YEAR=0 # CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG is not set # CONFIG_ACPI_PCI_SLOT is not set CONFIG_ACPI_CONTAINER=y # CONFIG_ACPI_SBS is not set CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ=y CONFIG_X86_POWERNOW_K8_ACPI=y CONFIG_PNPACPI=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEACPI=y CONFIG_ATA_ACPI=y # CONFIG_PATA_ACPI is not set # CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI is not set CONFIG_ACPI_WMI=y # CONFIG_ACPI_ASUS is not set # CONFIG_ACPI_TOSHIBA is not set
> There is one more piece of info that would be helpful to diagnose the issue and > that would be the output of: > $ emerge -pv hal Well, I put that on the very beginning of this bugreport: sys-apps/hal-0.5.12_rc1-r3 USE="X acpi consolekit crypt policykit -apm -debug -dell -disk-partition -doc -laptop (-selinux)" but meanwhile, I tried it without console-/policykit, the error stays. Finally, I went back to hal-0.5.11-r8, and disabled all possible USE-Flags: -X, -acpi, -consolekit, -crypt, -policykit, -laptop -- it makes no difference! Once again, I reemerged udev and acpid. ldd /usr/sbin/hald provides: linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fff8ebfe000) libdbus-glib-1.so.2 => /usr/lib/libdbus-glib-1.so.2 (0x00007f478660b000) libgobject-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0 (0x00007f47863c3000) libglib-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 (0x00007f47860cf000) libdbus-1.so.3 => /usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3 (0x00007f4785e8e000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x00007f4785c0a000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007f478589f000) libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x00007f4785685000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f478682d000) so to get stable libraries, I selected dbus-glib-0.76, glib-2.18.4-r2 and dbus-1.2.3-r1.

Are you sure I could pull packages which are 'known not to be ready'?? Then they should be masked, IMHO. I thought I could pull packages which are not known to be ready, this makes a big difference.
Ok, this seems to be a problem with glib compiled with gcc-4.4. When I change my CFLAGS from -O3 to -O2 when compiling glib, hal runs fine. I will leave my CFLAGS to that setting now :-)
(In reply to comment #7) > Ok, > > this seems to be a problem with glib compiled with gcc-4.4. > When I change my CFLAGS from -O3 to -O2 when compiling glib, hal runs fine. > > I will leave my CFLAGS to that setting now :-) > I can confirm that. I had a similar error. Remerging glib with -O2 fixes this.
