Hi! After updating my system, and enabling hald (no config, only the default settings), I've got so many strange SCSI errors. With some limited tests, I've found, that's because of hald. If I start it, got SCSI (and NTP?) errors. After stopping it, errors go away. Here is a snippet from messages (I've generated "Starting/stopping hald" messages with logger): ==Oct 18 09:44:41 Picasso root: Starting hald Oct 18 09:45:06 Picasso kernel: ahc0:A:2: Missed busfree.
