Dropped keywords until this can be worked out. We are aware of the Gnome 2.18 dependency and hope that a workable solution can be reached before 2.18 is due for unmaskingg.
All that patch does is uncomment a few debugging statements. There is no functional code difference. If your system requires that patch to have HAL run.. there's something very wrong happening there... a printf() statement should not result in a program running.
I actually do see a code change in there, and it's incorrect. Which is probably why you're having completely erratic results.

this is blocking gnome 2.18 on ppc64. should we open an upstream bug report to get this fixed? raising severity to major.
This bug has become a hodgepodge of various issues now.. But the the issue I believe you're referring to will probably get ignored by David and he'll probably expect me to work something up to fix it. But you're welcome to open the bug upstream with him. He didn't seem too interested in the sparc issue, which is why I'm assuming this.

I fixed my inotify problem by enabling it in the kernel: both inotify and userspace inotify support in the Filesystems section of the kernel configuration.
Unable to initialize inotify: Function not implemented Message only occurs in two situations: 1) when you have newer linux-headers which define the function and do not have a glibc compiled which matches those linux-headers to provide the function. 2) when the kernel does not have support for inotify compiled in we handle this through a compile time warning which pauses for 5 seconds and beeps the console. We can not make this a full stop because HAL is included on the LiveCD. ewarn "You must enable the Inotify system in your kernel." ewarn "For this you need to enable 'Inotify support for userspace'" ewarn "in 'File systems'. It is marked CONFIG_INOTIFY_USER in the config file." ewarn ebeep 5 It's up to you the user to read the output of these ebuilds and follow the instructions. We have implemeneted Portage elogging as such for this. Please read /etc/make.defaults to configure this properly for your system.
chainsaw: did you ever open that bug upstream? If you do can you CC me on it.
We now have a problem with the newer hal and recent unmasking of gnome-2.18. Would it be appropriate to start a seperate bug entry to track that?
Has anyone tried 0.5.10 and especially hal-0.5.11_rc2 from gentopia: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/gentopia.git;a=tree;f=sys-apps/hal;hb=HEAD
same error
i just stumbled on this on my i686 system and seemingly had everything correct, kernel had all INOTIFY-s, etc. Doug G.-s comment relating the problem to glibc was dead on for me. i had the chance to compare on two machines, my binhost was working fine with hald but the to-be-client wasnt. the client indeed had an older glibc (2.4 vs 2.5 on the binhost) and most likely i had upgraded the kernel after glibc. moving the glibcs to equal status resolved the problem on the client and both hald's are working well now. we'll see what problem pops up next :P
Created attachment 165302 [details] backtrace just before hald exits trying to debug this now. though I'm not getting far..
Created attachment 165304 [details] jump_positons the problem is that jump_position is NULL. EVERY jump_position is NULL... Maybe a type error?

another note: in hal/hald/create_cache.c in function set_jump_position() the type off_t is used for an offset. only 32bit are stored as rule.jump_position is only 32bit wide. pad32_write gets sizeof(fdi_ctx->rule.jump_position) as argument for length of data to be written. converting the offset to u_int32_t seems to get things better, but not functional. more to come...
Created attachment 166572 [details, diff] proposed patch this seems to fix the issue. hal starts now. although I cannot test any plug in devices and such, because the machine is 100km away...
Created attachment 166573 [details, diff] the patch fix formating... upstream used tabs not spaces.
the patch has been accepted upstream. please include it in the next patchset for 0.5.11.
pleeeaaase apply the patch :-)
ok.. I'm sick of waiting. this holds back quite a few bugs. I'll give you another 6 hours, then I'll add the patch myself. As I don't have access to the patch tarball this will get ugly. :-(
Fixed in CVS.
