When hald service starts during boot, I get OK, but when X has started hal sometimes has shut down. dmesg don't have any errors about this, however, /var/log messages has errors relating to this: /var/log/messages: --- Sep 27 15:45:04 snal hald[2828]: 15:45:04.603 [I] osspec.c:241: SEQNUM=825, ACTION=add, SUBSYSTEM=module, DEVPATH=/sys/module/cpufreq_conservative, DEVNAME=, IFINDEX=0 Sep 27 15:45:06 snal rsyncd[3523]: rsyncd version 3.0.3 starting, listening on port 873 Sep 27 15:45:07 snal NET: Registered protocol family 10 Sep 27 15:45:07 snal lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions Sep 27 15:45:07 snal hald[2828]: 15:45:07.088 [I] osspec.c:241: SEQNUM=826, ACTION=add, SUBSYSTEM=module, DEVPATH=/sys/module/ipv6, DEVNAME=, IFINDEX=0 Sep 27 15:45:07 snal cron[3635]: (CRON) STARTUP (V5.0) Sep 27 15:45:08 snal hald[2828]: 15:45:08.410 [I] device.c:1894: Removing locks from ':1.5' Sep 27 15:45:08 snal hald[2828]: 15:45:08.422 [I] device.c:1894: Removing locks from ':1.6' Sep 27 15:45:08 snal logger: Switching to battery runlevel Sep 27 15:45:10 snal [drm] Setting GART location based on new memory map Sep 27 15:45:10 snal [drm] Loading R300 Microcode Sep 27 15:45:10 snal [drm] writeback test succeeded in 1 usecs Sep 27 15:45:10 snal hald[2828]: 15:45:10.722 [I] hald.c:367: Caught SIGTERM, initiating shutdown Sep 27 15:45:15 snal gdm[3038]: pam_unix(gdm-autologin:session): session opened for user hadoque by (uid=0) Sep 27 15:45:17 snal eth1: no IPv6 routers present Sep 27 15:45:18 snal (hadoque-4693): startar (version 2.22.0), pid 4693 användare "hadoque" Sep 27 15:45:18 snal (hadoque-4693): Slog upp adressen "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory" till en skrivskyddad konfigurationskälla på position 0 Sep 27 15:45:18 snal (hadoque-4693): Slog upp adressen "xml:readwrite:/home/hadoque/.gconf" till en skrivbar konfigurationskälla på position 1 Sep 27 15:45:18 snal (hadoque-4693): Slog upp adressen "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults" till en skrivskyddad konfigurationskälla på position 2 Sep 27 15:45:20 snal gnome-keyring-daemon[4706]: failed to initialize a HAL context: (null) Sep 27 15:45:20 snal gnome-keyring-daemon[4706]: Scheduling hal init retry --- and a bit later: --- Sep 27 16:00:26 snal gnome-keyring-daemon[4968]: failed to initialize a HAL context: (null) Sep 27 16:00:26 snal gnome-keyring-daemon[4968]: Scheduling hal init retry Sep 27 16:00:56 snal gnome-keyring-daemon[4968]: failed to initialize a HAL context: (null) Sep 27 16:00:56 snal gnome-keyring-daemon[4968]: Scheduling hal init retry Sep 27 16:01:26 snal gnome-keyring-daemon[4968]: failed to initialize a HAL context: (null) Sep 27 16:01:26 snal gnome-keyring-daemon[4968]: Scheduling hal init retry Sep 27 16:01:56 snal gnome-keyring-daemon[4968]: failed to initialize a HAL context: (null) Sep 27 16:01:56 snal gnome-keyring-daemon[4968]: Scheduling hal init retry Sep 27 16:02:26 snal gnome-keyring-daemon[4968]: failed to initialize a HAL context: (null) Sep 27 16:02:26 snal gnome-keyring-daemon[4968]: Scheduling hal init retry --- and so on.

please try with r3
(In reply to comment #1) > please try with r3 > OK, tried with r3, and now I have made 6 successfull reboots, so I think we could say this version is working. Thanks!
(In reply to comment #1) > please try with r3 > Ok, I will have to take that last comment back. The problems showed up again, but this time I realised that HAL only fails when I boot on battery power. When I boot on AC-power, HAL starts up nicely. /Johan
Could you try this on sys-apps/hal-0.5.11-r6 please?
(In reply to comment #4) > Could you try this on sys-apps/hal-0.5.11-r6 please? That version isnt't in portage yet (~x86). The highest version is r4, I can test that one...
0.5.11-r8 is in the tree now, please test with that.
(In reply to comment #6) > 0.5.11-r8 is in the tree now, please test with that. > Sorry, I forgot to sync before checking the latest version in portage... Ok, with r8 I don't get the reported error messages. It seems like hald isn't shut down. I'm now having problems starting x on battery power though, so I can't test that everything works yet (I don't think the problem starting x has to so with hal). Anyway, I think we can mark this bug as resolved now. Thanks /Johan
