hal's ebuild checks for ACPI_PROC_EVENT in kernel configuration, but kernel 2.6.22 doesn't have such option (but the file /proc/acpi/event is presenty anyways). # emerge --info Portage 2.1.4_rc1 (default-linux/amd64/2007.0, gcc-4.2.2, glibc-2.7-r0, 2.6.22-a4 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.22-a4 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ Timestamp of tree: Fri, 23 Nov 2007 08:46:01 +0000 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p17-r1 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.1.2-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.5.1-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r7 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.10-r5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.24 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.23-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=athlon64 -fomit-frame-pointer -ftracer -fstack-protector -msse3" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=athlon64 -fomit-frame-pointer -ftracer -fstack-protector -msse3" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="ccache distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch prelink sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.prz.rzeszow.pl/ http://gentoo.po.opole.pl/ http://gentoo.zie.pg.gda.pl " LANG="pl_PL" LC_ALL="pl_PL" LINGUAS="pl en" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages --filter=H_**/files/digest-*" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow 3dnowext X a52 aac acpi alsa amd64 asf atk bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts boost bzip2 cairo cdparanoia cdr cli cracklib crypt cups curl dar64 dbus divx dts dvd dvdr dvdread exif expat ffmpeg fltk fontconfig foomaticdb gd gdbm gif glib glitz gnutls gphoto2 gpm gtk hal hardened hpn iconv icu idn ieee1394 imagemagick imlib isdnlog jpeg jpeg2k kde kipi lame lcms log4j logrotate mad midi mikmod mmx mmxext mng mp3 msn mudflap ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nvidia ogg openexr opengl openmp pam pango pch pcre pdf perl pic png ppds pppd python qt3 quicktime readline realmedia reflection rtc ruby scanner seamonkey session slang smp sndfile spell spl sqlite3 sse sse2 ssl svg symlink tcpd threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode urandom usb vcd vorbis wmf wmp x264 xcomposite xml xorg xpm xscreensaver xv xvid xvmc zlib" ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" CAMERAS="panasonic template directory" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="pl en" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia nv" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
I'm sorry that this bug wasn't replied to when you filed it. As of now, kernels that old are no longer security-supported and as such shouldn't be running on your system. Again, apologies for the lack of service you received.
