weird haldaemon problem after update from FC3 to FC4....

I updated an FC3 computer to FC4. Printing didn't work on it when it
was FC3.
The printer won't appear in system-config-printers after the update. It
didn't before the update either. I did a bunch of tracing and figured
out that something was wrong with dbus and haldaemon. I went to
system-config-services and stopped hald. When I restart it, it gives an
error:
haldaemon failed. The error was: Starting HAL daemon:
[60G[[0;31mFAILED[0;39m]
OK...
I go to /etc/init.d and find haldaeon.
Starting and stopping it gives:
#./haldaemon start
Starting HAL daemon: [FAILED]
OK.
I go into haldaemon and find:
================================================================
processname=hald
servicename=haldaemon
RETVAL=0
start() {
echo -n $"Starting HAL daemon: "
daemon --check $servicename $processname --retain-privileges
...
=================================================================
So... I try it manually:
hald --daemon=yes --verbose=yes --retain-privileges
20:24:16.452 [I] hald.c:495: hal 0.5.2
20:24:16.452 [I] hald.c:497: Will daemonize
20:24:16.452 [I] hald.c:507: Becoming a daemon
No errors !
I can't find the path to daemon to see if I can call hald like it does in haldaemon.
Any ideas ?
