-> -> Hi, -> since the last few days my system crashs at startup of gdm (on system -> boot). -> -> If I choose runlevel 2, the system doesn't crash. I found out, that HAL -> is -> the problem. After disabling hal (chkconfig haldaemon --off) no crashes -> appear. -> -> The system freezes completly so I can't look into the logfiles. -> -> I removed an reinstalled hal already, but nothing changed. -> -> I tried older kernels releases and nothing changed. -> -> Any help would be nice! -> -> Regards, Christian -> You may have a typo with the --off as I understand it One proper way to look at it is chkconfig --list | grep :on will show you everything that is on for all runlevels then you can chkconfig haldaemon off or if you want to turn all runlevels that are on, off then chkconfig --level 2345 haldaemon off this my help if you typo'd thanks and kind regards - rh -- Robert - Abba Communications Computer & Internet Services (509) 624-7159 - www.abbacomm.net
