inotify comes from kernel, in my config:
elwood linux # zcat /proc/config.gz |grep -i notify
CONFIG_INOTIFY=y
CONFIG_INOTIFY_USER=y
CONFIG_DNOTIFY=y
in menuconfig:
┌─────── File systems
[...]
[*] Inotify file change notification support
[*] Inotify support for userspace
bye bye

Hi All,
I noticed on a box of mine that hald won't start:
==========================================
# /etc/init.d/hald restart
* Starting Hardware Abstraction Layer daemon ... [ !! ]
==========================================
Confusingly, the logs don't show anything. How do I troubleshoot
this?
I had the same problem:
hald was sucking 99% cpu, removables devices didn't work
and launching hald from terminal with the option "hald --daemon=no
--verbose=yes" i discovered it was on a infinite loop echo-ing
something about rules so I got in /etc/udev/rules.d
and found (by probing one by one) 99-libgphoto2.rules that
was HALS's murder.
Thank you Alessandro, what do you mean by probing - how did you probe
them?
moving it to /tmp and restart hald,
becouse the error I got when launching
# hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes
is "Unhandled Rule (0)"
so deleting the rules (delete de rule, start hald, if it doesn't
works put the rule back , and move another) from etc/udev/rules.d
I debugged the problem, the bad rule was owned by gphoto2
I've had a chance to get back to this machine and this is what it is
showing: ==========================================

What do you make of this?
I removed /usr/share/hal and tried to remerge it. It complained that I "MUST"
compile pciutils without the zlib flag. Not sure why pciutils has the zlib
flag as a default, but if it is causing a problem with hal shouldn't it be
removed?
Anyway, after masking zlib for pciutils and remerging both packages it now
seems to be working again . . .
Thanks for your suggestions.
