get yourself linux headers to go with your kernel (2.6)
I don't want to install linux-2.6.x. The only thing that must be done is to declare u64 type, because it is defined only in kernel-space in linux-2.4: #define u64 __u64 or typedef __u64 u64; somewhere at the beginning of the hal-0.2.98/hald/linux/block_class_device.c, the maximum of effords is to include this defenition to #ifdef KERNEL_VERSION
foser, don't know if you wanna bother..but there is a patch here for hal to compile on a 2.4 kernel. Not sure how useful this is, since I am not aware of any sort of udev/sysfs backport going on, but here is the post for reference. http://freedesktop.org/pipermail/hal/2004-September/001061.html
we just go with the 2.6 headers dep. Yes its possible to disable it like that, but it messes with functionality there, plus that it probably can't be maintained very long.
