I haven't updated hal for some time now. But . . . not sure how to explain this - genlop shows that the last time I updated hal was: Tue Nov 13 20:43:45 2007 >>> sys-apps/hal-0.5.9.1-r3 However, eix -l has a different idea: Installed versions: 0.5.9.1-r3(06:39:10 04/15/08)(acpi crypt kernel_linux pcmcia -debug -dell -disk-partition -doc -kernel_FreeBSD -selinux) Will it be easier if I also blame kernel 2.6.25-r6 instead? :p -- Regards, Mick
