Ok, D state means that hal is currently ``inside'' a kernel call that hasn't returned yet. Can you run hald manually with: strace hald --daemon=no --drop-privileges and hald --daemon=no --drop-privileges Wich will give you a big flood.. I need the last part of output of both, before hanging in D Note that this is a kernel bug and not a hal bug. I'm just looking for some extra info before pushing it on. Sjoerd -- Power corrupts. And atomic power corrupts atomically.
