 |
|
Hi 
First of all I would like to explain why I'm posting this in "Unsupported Software". I am usually very cautious but this time I've decided to have some fun, go a bit on the crazy side and install the most "unstable" Gentoo I could  That's why I'm using paludis, gcc-4.4 (alpha) with very "ricy" CFLAGS , kde-4.3 beta and lots more I know that most probably the problem I'm experiencing is caused by the experimental packages, but maybe there's something else I'm doing wrong?
Now, about the problem - hald refuses to start and I have no idea why. I also don't know how to debug it. I've enabled "HALD_VERBOSE" but there are tons and tons of messages that mean nothing to me  The only things that look like errors are theese:
| Code: | $ egrep -i "error|\[E\]" messages

I've also managed to narrow down the hal configuration files that are causing problems:
* 10-cpufreq.fdi
* 10-input-policy.fdi
* 10-power-mgmt-policy.fdi
* 20-storage-methods.fdi
If I remove all of them from /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor hald starts and if I put either one back, it fails.
I would be very grateful for any on pointers what I could do to fix/debug the problem I'm also happy to give more info, if its needed.
Best regards,
Crocodil |

Do you have anything in /proc
Do you have acpi setup in your kernel?
Most of the errors indicate that /proc/acpi does not exist or you have not loaded modules for acpi.

Hi drescherjm
Yes, I do have ACPI enabled in kernel, here's how the options look (this is an AMD64 desktop):
| Quote: | --- ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support

I have acpid running and here are the modules, that are loaded:

I've also tried disabling all the "deprecated" options but that didn't change anything...
Do you see something wrong with my ACPI setup?

Hello,
I have almost the same problem (with gcc-4.4 and graphite but with certainly more regular cflags).
hal (rc1_r6) is compiled with "X acpi consolekit laptop policykit". Any version of hal from the latest stable one included would fail.
The only way to have hal started and running on my machine iis to remove from /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/ the following file only :
- 20-storage-methods
with the previous version (rc1_r4) I had the same problem with these 4 files.
Regards |

Hi
I'm affraid I won't be able to help you, as I haven't found a solution for the problem... I've finally gave up and reinstalled the system with more common-sense flags:
| Quote: | CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -floop-interchange -floop-strip-mine -floop-block -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -floop-interchange -floop-strip-mine -floop-block -pipe"
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed" |
Now I have absolutely no problems and all I can say is that KDE 4.3 is going to be SWEEEET 
Best regards,
Crocodil |

I have same problem.
I'm installed a system using a server(intel core2 E4500), and hal is running.
then, i dump the system and untar in my notebook (dell 1420 intel core2 T7800).
hal start failed always.
and i remove some fdi file and change USE flag/ CFLAG, it's always failed.
I thinks it's depanding on machine(or cpu?). |
