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

What hardware? What kernel version? What gdm version? What hal version? Had you made any changes to the system prior to this starting? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jim Wildman, CISSP, RHCE jim at rossberry.com http://www.rossberry.com "Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one."
