I had a similar problem with the older diald (0.16) when I upgraded
from a 2.0.x kernel to a 2.2.x kernel. When I upgraded to the latest
diald (0.99.1) all worked fine.
I suspect that the only working combinations are:
kernel diald
2.0.x 0.16
2.2.x 0.99.x
While I had a mis-matched configuration, I "solved" the problem with
the following crontab script that ran every 15 minutes:
=============================================
if [ -z "`ps ax | /usr/bin/grep [d]iald`" ] ; then
echo "missing diald restarted" `date`
/sbin/init.d/diald stop
/sbin/init.d/diald start
fi
=============================================
