The startup procedure hangs for quit some time when trying to start hal. In the end if fails (marks the line with "!!") Not starting hal automatically but by hand unveiled the attached data. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1./etc/init.d/dbus start 2.hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes 3. Actual Results: See the attachment After masking hal 0.5.9-r1 and downgrading to hal -0.5.7-r3 everything works fine again. A recompile of the linux-headers and glibc didn't help. removing of an fdi file originating from gphoto2 also didn't help.

reopen with emerge --info and lshal output attached. Thanks.

Normally this means the HAL daemon (hald) is not running or not ready. I guess the daemon doesn't get far enough to respond to anything. It just keeps spitting out its "device_info.c:983: Unhandled rule (0)!" Tried to reopen, but not being the originator I'm not allowed to do that. _ /Bjorn
Forgot to mention it, but only way to stop hald from it's tight infinite loop is kill -9. _ /Bjorn
Also, do you have media-gfx/gphoto2 installed? If yes, unmerge it and try again.
Did you update your config with etc-update?
Yes I ran etc-update, and accepted all defaults, since I never changed the originals. No gphoto2 installed. I just downgraded to 0.5.7.1-r5, and it works fine. I'll upgrade again to try whatever your next suggestion might be. _ /Bjorn
I can confirm this behavior. After an "emerge -uDN world" hal is going crazy. I updated config-files with "etc-update".

That's what I meant. Sorry. Try uninstalling libgphoto2 and trying HAL again. If that fixes it, then this bug is a dup of bug #172830.

(In reply to comment #14) The only thing I can tell you is that you have something installing a bad rule file in /usr/share/hal/fdi/ or /etc/hal/fdi. Find it.
(In reply to comment #2) > reopen with emerge --info and lshal output attached. Thanks. > After all it seems it had to do something with gphoto2. Looks like I didn't test well enough before. The problem disappered when I deleted the dfi file. Just hope this will not get me into other problems. Simon
