I'm sorry but ... it doesnt worked! I disabled it as you have suggested but "failed to initialize HAL" is still there. I hope, however that you are next to the solution... maybe there is something else you have modified in your configuration that, with the previous workaround, made the world turn again! I blacklisted also ibm_acpi and pcc_acpi after a first reboot with asus_acpi only disabled but... nothing.
Attached my dmesg. ** Attachment added: "dmesg output" http://librarian.launchpad.net/4970451/dmesg.txt -- HAL fails to initialize on ASUS A6 series notebooks https://launchpad.net/bugs/62990 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
