A bit more info: before HAL is started, Avahi-daemon starts with the warning: uses 32-bit capabilities (legacy support in use) then when it hangs .. if I hit 'ctrl-alt-Del' I get the error: error: 'hal' exited outside expected code flow Stopping Avahi... Stopping Hardware abstraction layer hald. modprobe: FATAL . Error running install command for ... Asking all remaining processes to terminate ... done. (then it really hangs ...) I rebooted 10 times .. sometimes from cold start, others as a reboot and only the first three times did it crash. Then I tried booting the syslinux 3.71_dfsg-3 cd . found my 'live' images so crashed .. unplugged my harddrive and did it again (syslinux cd booted ok .. but no HAL on this) .. then shut down, plugged harddrive back in and rebooted my image and HAL crashed .. rebooted (cold) and tried 486 image and no problem .. tried 486 image 3 times .. no problem. that error message ' hal exited outside of expected code flow' really bothers me .. any ideas? thanks!
