Hi, recently upgrading to dapper, I'm having issues with 'hald' on
boot.. (i think its hardware application layer? device or similar)... It
stalls on boot, I need to comment out smbfs entries in /etc/fstab for it
not to be causing issues. But this isnt great as I need those mounts
for normal operation. Has anyone had issues with this? Any help would be
greatly appreciated... Thanks...
I don't know about hald, but the usual solution for mounts causing hangs
on boot is to use the automounter (vi /etc/auto*). Of course, this might
just postphone the hang till when you try to access smbfs :-)
