Thank you for your bug report. If the machine completely freezes, then that's unlikely to be a HAL issue, but a kernel issue instead. Are you running this from within Gnome/KDE? If so, could you please try running it from a console instead (CTRL+ALT+F1). Does it freeze like this, and are there any error messages displayed at the point that the machine freezes? Could you please take a photograph of the screen?
If it crashes from the terminal but you don't see any useful messages, then please try again from the terminal after changing the kernel loglevel. To do this, run the following before starting HAL: echo 8 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/printk Could you also please also attach the following additional information: 1. Please include the output of the command "uname -a" in your next response. It should be one, long line of text which includes the exact kernel version you're running, as well as the CPU architecture. 2. Please run the command "dmesg > dmesg.log" after a fresh boot and attach the resulting file "dmesg.log" to this bug report. 3. Please run the command "sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log" and attach the resulting file "lspci-vvnn.log" to this bug report.
