you need to provide verbose output. You also need to attach strace to it. Based on the initial issue you posted to this bug, it seems like you've very much hosed something on your system since HAL installs /usr/share/hal/fdi/preprobe
Created attachment 121849 [details] hald new verbose output here's hald verbose output
Created attachment 121852 [details] hald verbose output with strace here's hald verbose output with strace command
Do you have acpid running? Something is holding your /proc/acpi/event but then HAL can't talk to acpid via it's socket. It's getting permission denied. As far as the crash, HAL appears to attempt to read an entry from /sys and immediately segfaults... which is very odd...
Created attachment 121862 [details] hald verbose output with strace and NO acpi no i don't have acpid running. so i did: emerge -C hal "lsoft | grep hal" and killed all processes using old hal files USE="-acpi kernel_linux crypt" emerge hal and here's new strace log
Created attachment 121863 [details] hald verbose output with strace and NO acpi sorry my mistake! Here's the right one
Why are you doing USE="kernel_linux". That should not be a USE flag you should be touching. Also, USE=acpi does not imply using acpid. It just tries to read ACPI data, first it will try to connect to /proc/acpi/event. Which it can not on your system, which means some application is holding /proc/acpi/event... which could very well be another instance of HAL or something else funky on your system. If you actually do have an app using that, you should be using acpid since that allows multiple consumers of acpi event data.
Based on the latest log you posted, HAL is up and running 100%.

The last comment isn't helpful at all. All you've done is shown that on your system HAL doesn't start via the init script. You can run it via strace but gave no indication if it dies or keeps running. lsof proves nothing because HAL reads those entries on start up and doesn't keep them opened so lsof will show you absolutely nothing. The new log provides no new information other than HAL segfaults when it reads that same /sys entry, which points to a bad kernel since a read/open of a /sys entry shouldn't segfault a system. At this point I would say you're going to have to reproduce this issue under gentoo-sources.
cd /sys/devices/pnp0/00:07/driver; ls ../../../bus/pnp/drivers/serial try running that as well.

At this point I'd say you really need to reproduce the error under gentoo-sources. You also might want to consider removing ISA PnP support from your kernel unless you have ISA bits.
So.. for this new gentoo-sources I will use my .config ..and... # grep ISA .config CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA=y # Bus options (PCI, PCMCIA, EISA, MCA, ISA) CONFIG_ISA_DMA_API=y # CONFIG_ISA is not set CONFIG_I2C_ISA=m # CONFIG_I2C_PCA_ISA is not set CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA and CONFIG_ISA_DMA_API=y are selected every 'make oldconfig'. am I missing something?
solved. rebooted with kernel-2.6.22-rc4-ck1 :)
and thank you so much for your time! :) !!!
