Package: hal Version: 0.5.8.1-6 Severity: normal Some hours after booting my machine freezes for half a minute, thaws again (hald-addon-storage is the top process in 'top') and then freezes completely. kern.log contains:

This started to happen when I installed hal and stopped, when I completely killed hald and its subdaemons by hand for lack of another option. Though this seems like a hardware bug (i.e. a missing workaround in the kernel) I can't just use another machine until I a new kernel revision fixes this. I don't know what hald does to confuse my DVD writer (Model=LITE-ON DVDRW LDW-851S, FwRev=GS0P) (does hald poll the drive for inserted media or what else?), so I don't know what parts of hal I have to stop. And I wouldn't know how to achieve this also, because the API documentation doesn't help here, I just want to write a blacklist in a config file or so. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing-proposed-updates APT policy: (850, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (850, 'testing'), (800, 'stable'), (300, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-k7 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=de_DE (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages hal depends on: ii adduser 3.101 Add and remove users and groups ii dbus 1.0.2-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbus-1-3 1.0.2-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.71-3 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libexpat1 1.95.8-3.3 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libglib2.0-0 2.12.4-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libhal-storage1 0.5.8.1-6 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libhal1 0.5.8.1-6 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-2 userspace USB programming library ii libvolume-id0 0.103-2 libvolume_id shared library ii lsb-base 3.1-22 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii pciutils 1:2.2.4~pre4-1 Linux PCI Utilities ii udev 0.103-2 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo ii usbutils 0.72-7 USB console utilities Versions of packages hal recommends: ii eject 2.1.4-2.1 ejects CDs and operates CD-Changer -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
