Hello, I have similar trouble running kernel 2.6.26-etchnhalf.1-amd64 and upgrading to current Sid.
During the upgrade, the installation breaks with: usermod: user haldaemon is currently logged in Reloading system message bus config... done. Starting Hardware abstraction layer: hald (now it hangs for about 3 minutes) invoke-rc.d: initscript hal, action "start" failed. Yeah, that's all. If I run it with "sh -x", I see only hald hanging on with start-stop-daemon. strace ends somewhere in a wait(-4,...) syscall. -- Preisknaller: GMX DSL Flatrate für nur 16,99 Euro/mtl.! http://portal.gmx.net/de/go/dsl02 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
