Hi All,
I had an issue. Manually installing Centos 6 everything worked X11 came
up with nvidia binary drivers. Cool.
However, I am working on a kickstart install for Centos 6 and that was
not working. When I started X it
would hang. no mouse no keyboard. however , remote ssh was available and
worked.
Thinking I had some serious bug in nvidia binary was my thought - but I
kept looking.
I saw this error:
(EE) config/hal: couldn't initialise context: unknown error (null)
in the X log file.
I continued to look and sure enough hald was installed but not running.
I did service haldaemon stop and it said FAILED as expected, then
service haldaemon start
and it started up. Curious....
chkconfig --list | grep hal reports
haldaemon 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off
So thats the reason of course, it was not set to start. Question is why????
certainly I can put in my kickstart post script to change chkconfig
but why is it not set to start????
Thanks for any insite.
