I waited to see if someone with more knowledge on the subject would |
| 9 |
post a reply, but I don't see any, so hoping the following is helpful |
| 10 |
despite my limited knowledge on the subject... |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
hal-0.5.7.1-r3 was released yesterday (the day you posted), with a |
| 13 |
suspend/hibernate bugfix and a pci-ids bugfix, according to the changelog. |
| 14 |
That doesn't seem to be directly your issue, but with a bit of luck... |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Beyond that, just looking around hal doesn't seem to have a configuration |
| 17 |
of its own altho there are some examples in /usr/share/doc/hal-<version |
| 18 |
that may or may not be helpful. They looked interesting, but I didn't |
| 19 |
see any info on where they should be put to activate them if one did want |
| 20 |
to run them. I'm not sure that's the issue, however. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
If it were me the next place I'd check would be my KDE or GNOME removable |
| 23 |
drive configuration. If you thought you were setting it up to manage your |
| 24 |
CD/DVD/UDB devices and it got misconfigured (either as merged or by you) |
| 25 |
to treat /all/ mounts as removable... Also, those examples in the |
| 26 |
documentation mentioned above reminded me an awful lot of the udev |
| 27 |
configuration stuff, so I'd take a peak at that and see if anything out of |
| 28 |
place jumped out at me. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
You already mentioned using a wrapper for troubleshooting, which would |
| 31 |
imply you're decently experienced at it. What about using that wrapper to |
| 32 |
pause the thing, then doing a ps --forest (or use a GUI tool such as |
| 33 |
ksysguard to get the process tree), in ordered to figure out what's |
| 34 |
invoking it? At least then you'd have a better idea what you might need |
| 35 |
to reconfigure or disable or whatever, to get it to quit trying to unmount |
| 36 |
your main partitions! |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Hopefully that's of /some/ help, anyway. As I said, I hoped someone with |
| 39 |
a bit more hal knowledge would reply, but I don't see anything yet, and I |
| 40 |
/did/ just see the hal update and remembered seeing your post, so decided |
| 41 |
to mention it at least. |
