Problem with hal after world and kernel updates.

[Droopdude]

I recently did a world upgrade and also upgraded to gentoo-sources-2.6.13-r5 and I am now having some trouble with hal. After a reboot, hal will not add any hotplugged usb storage devices to fstab. If I restart hald after kde has started, then it works fine.

I have tried updating to hal-0.4.8 with no changes.

Currently installed is dbus-0.23-r3, hal-0.4.8, udev-070-r1 and I made sure that inotify and hotplug are enabled in the new kernel. I do not have ivman installed.

Could the new udev be doing this somehow?

Quick note.

I booted back to gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r10 and the problems persists. I know now this problem is a result of my world upgrade, and subsequent etc-update, but I am buggered to figure out what it is.

I always rebuild HAL after a kernel install as it uses the kernel source.
Check that the /usr/src/linux symlink points to the kernel you want HAL to build against.

Yes, the symlink is correct (as it needs to be to build a new kernel), and I have rebuilt hal-0.4.7 as well as hal-0.4.8 with the new kernel.

Thanks for the ideas, but I am sad to say that this is not the problem.
