1 Hello,
2
3 I cleanup up a system, per the postings to not use HAL.
4 k3b does not work, but, I'll look for a fix for it later.
5
6 I keep 2 kernels on this system.
7
8 kernel-2.6.34-gentoo-r12 and kernel-2.6.36-gentoo-r5
9
10 the *36 does not work. I have copied it over from
11 an identical system, build new kernels an still it
12 fails with the verbiage listed in the title.
13
14
15 I can go back and boot the old *34 kernel and all is
16 fine. The system was updated on 3Feb2011. I've tried
17 all sorts of things, but to no avail.
18
19 Google indicates that it may be the x setup. Before the
20 upgrade and elimination of hal the kernel-2.6.36-gentoo-r5
21 kernel worked just fine. Now if I build a new kernel, it
22 does not work.
23
24
25 somewhere in the removal of the use flag hal and the hald
26 it has decidded not build a kernel-2.6.36-gentoo-r5 that
27 will work, but boots and runs fine with older *34
28 gentoo stable kernel.
29
30
31 I have no idea what to do. When the boot tails, it
32 hard locks up so I have to reset power, boot the older
33 kernel so there is no dmesg trail to look at.
34
35 Reboot and Running:
36 xorg-server-1.9.2 ati-drivers-10.11
37 xorg-x11-7.4-r1 kernel-2.6.34-gentoo-r12
38 with no hald all is fine?
39 The old kernel was built with hal and hald
40 running, if that makes a difference.....?
