phl0ri4n: You have a completely different issue. Your issue is that you updated linux-headers and the einfo at the end tells you that you MUST recompile glibc at this point, you didn't follow those instructions.
Does anyone know a fix for this??

Need "strace hald --daemon=no" otherwise it will daemonize and strace will only track the original process.
Created attachment 120655 [details] strace of hald oh sorry for that, in the attachment ist the full strace output in no deamon mode.
What happens if you do chown haldaemon:haldaemon /var/lib/cache/hald ?
(In reply to comment #16) > What happens if you do chown haldaemon:haldaemon /var/lib/cache/hald ? > It is already, read comment#2
Emerging hal-info seems to have gotten things working for me.
I had the same problem. Recompiling the kernel with inotify support did the job for me.
(In reply to comment #18) > Emerging hal-info seems to have gotten things working for me. > also for me
I have the just emerged hal-0.5.9-r1 yesterday and got the exact same problem as the original described. I have tried the following suggestiongs with no success: --retain-privileges reemerge hal-info checked that I do have inotify support in the kernel glibc is just emerged before this wich is after linux-headers (old emerge) I have the same /var/lib/cache/ and /var/lib/cache/hald as wikwam I do notice the following 2 things: /var/lib/cache/hald/fdi-cache~ is created every time I try to run hald. The file is only writable by root: # ls -l /var/lib/cache/hald/ total 148 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 146727 Jul 3 15:57 fdi-cache~ The other thing is that the fdi error is not the first error given from hald.

Hi again Anyone looking into this problem? Now the old stable version 0.5.7.1-r3 has disappeared from portage. That is the version I currently use. I am very reluctant to try installing something else as long as I don't have the ebuild for the old stable version. Is there a place where I can get ebuild for 0.5.7.1-r3 so I can put it in my local overlay? And please anyone - any suggestions to what I can try?
The problem is found: /var/lib/cache/hald does not like to be on nfs! Read on to see what I tried and some questions in the end. Today I tried again - with 0.5.9-r1 and 0.5.9.1-r2 Still same problem. Then I gave the problem a second look. Just after the error, it complains about it can not open /var/lib/cache/hald/fdi-cache This file does not exist, but on the other hand /var/lib/cache/hald/fdi-cache~ is generated. So I tried copy fdi-cache~ to fdi-cache and then it started! If I remove the file again, I am back to square one, it will not start. If I leave fdi-cache in place it starts, but the file is not regenerated on start. If I try to remove a file out from /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/ I would expect the cache to be regenerated. But after doing that an ls give me: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 55262 Sep 2 13:54 fdi-cache -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 92812 Sep 2 14:01 fdi-cache~ So I have a new fdi-cache~ but not a new fdi-cache. I guess fdi-cache~ is supposed to be moved to fdi-cache, but it for some reason failed to do so. All permission seem to be fine, but I the system diskless, so it is on nfs. If the cache is tried to be moved in some fancy way this could maybe be the trouble. So in with a disk, mount a partition I got with something else on, make a test dir and change /var/lib/cache/hald to be a symbolic link to my empty test dir. Voila, it works! So for now I need a disk in the system to have hald work :-( So what now? Why do I need a local disk? Can I solve it by using some special nfs options (using rw,tcp,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,nfsvers=3)? Is this the gentoo setup or is it a upstream problem? And the interesting question, wikwam, do you also have it on nfs? With hope for response, Jesper
Hi Jesper Saxtorph, no, the system is located on internal disk! So NFS can't be the problem. Greets
hi, i had the same problem and a hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes showed that hald wanted to generate a cache file in the folder /var/cache/hald which didn't exist. i created the folder by hand, and that solved all my hal problems. cheers, nico
I just had the same problem with a fresh ~amd64 install. I did nothing more than to add the directory /var/cache/hald and change perm to haldaemon:haldaemon and the daemon started just fine. Can somebody plz update the ebuild to just create that directory in postinst().. Cheers, cmuelle8
To confirm, this is done in newer HAL ebuilds: # HAL stores it's fdi cache in /var/lib/cache/hald keepdir /var/lib/cache/hald
The same for me. On a fresh ~amd64 installation: # mkdir /var/cache/hald # chown haldaemon:haldaemon /var/cache/hald
