Hal 0.5.8.1 is both in testing and in extra. The problem with hal 0.5.8.1 is that the partition scan addon crashes when it finds DOS extended partitions which have been made by microsoft tools. This has been fixed in testing it seems, but it hasn't been fixed in extra. _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
