I'm still running FC3 and today I wanted to replace my self-configured
kernel 2.6.17 with the brandnew 2.6.18.
Kernel 2.8.18 works like a charme with one exeption:
With kernel 2.6.18 hald (hal-0.4.7-1.FC3) refuses to run.
Starts but exits immediatly to unknown reasons with no info in /var/log/messages.
Anybody with the same problem out there?
Any Pointer to solve or at least analyze the problem welcome.

Broken here also.
I seem to recall reading on the kernel developers list that 2.6.18
needs a fairly new hald; I think they changed the format of the /sys
directories and the old hald can't handle it. Perhaps Dave Jones can
hit us with a clue stick. I don't run hald myself (and I don't miss it).
You can try running "strace /usr/sbin/hald --daemon=no" and see if you
can determine where it's failing. Mine fails with a segmentation fault
after doing a readlink.
See freedesktop.org for the latest hald sources if you want to roll
your own update.

John
