Hi Frans, please try the following: Remove your hand written fdi files from /etc/hal Restart hal Check if hald-addon-storage is running (should be) Run hal-disable-polling --device /dev/scd0 The hald-addon-storage process should then be stopped automatically, and you should have a correct fdi file in /etch/hal/fdi/information. (this works for me) Cheers, Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
