I upgraded to kernel 2.6.10-1.770_FC3 a couple of weeks ago from 2.6.9-1.667, and also upgraded HAL to 0.4.7-1.FC3. Since then, HAL has stopped working. On system start, it shows that it starts normally, but it actually dies silently (as revealed by "service haldaemon status", which shows that hald is stopped). The effect of this is that my USB drives (hard disks, floppy, memory disk, camera, etc., are no longer automatically mounted when they're plugged in. I can mount them manually, but that means that I've got to go to System Logs to find out what they're called.
I've tried re-installing HAL 0.4.0-10, but this didn't help. I've also downloaded and run the latest initscripts, still no show. I've searched numerous mailing lists, but there doesn't seem to be a fix. Am I looking in the wrong places?
My configuration is:
- Toshiba TE2000 laptop - udev-039-10.FC3.7 - hotplug-2004_04_01-8.1 - hal-0.4.7-1.FC3 - kernel: 2.6.10-1.770.FC3
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
