Hi, Darren:
Thank you for the pointers. DBus is online; HAL is in maintenance. ZFS
is OK.
And svcadm enable hal doesn't work, nor does svcadm refresh hal.
The log isn't very helpful - maybe the config file is corrupt, but its
location is not mentioned, nor is its name.
If I can re-install particular packages, do you know which ones I should
add back in?
