Maybe you can "ktrace -d" hald during startup. Then run kdump to get the system call list. --HPS Well, I went to run ktrace on hald, but I discovered that hal was working fine. I tested on my server running 13-current, a testing laptop with 12-rc2, and I even pulled an old desktop out of storage that had 12-stable on it which probably hadn't been used in well over a year, and all three machines had hald working. When I experienced this crash, it was on a laptop which no longer has FreeBSD on it. Whatever the nature of the crash was, it may have been an issue particular to that laptop or something about its setup that I have not reproduced elsewhere. I'm guessing this should be closed as "overcome by events". Sorry for hijacking this, but I think I have the same issue after updating to recent packages:

Running it with truss fails with this in the end:

Indeed, this file doesn't exist, just a .sample file I copied the .sample to the filename, and now hald starts just fine here.
HAL has been removed from the ports tree in https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports?view=revision&revision=564691. I'm closing this issue for now because of that. |
