As I saw there : http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/hal/2006-August/005777.html The event chain goes like this : kernel -> udev -> hal -> dbus -> g-v-m -> dbus -> hal -> kernel Since we are only changing udev, I thought the problem should be in udev->hal communication, and that hal needs to be updated somehow. But I have not found how to debug hal, to be sure hal is indeed the problem and that it does not see the udev event. I also checked if there were any hal git commits related to udev, and found a recent one : http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=hal.git;a=commit;h=f6af40c1e7ea54e69eb2d259d91dd212065d5f6e But I re-introduced the udevinfo symlink (ln -s /sbin/udevadm /usr/bin/udevinfo) and it did not help. I can reproduce this with the 126 version made by Aaron, the 127 version made by Tobias, and my own nearly vanilla 127 version (on this note, I don't know why Arch has to change so many things from vanilla).
