Had the same problem here, on a Toshiba laptop.
First, I tried upgrading hal to the release found in the 'testing' repos. That
did not help.
Then I went to
http://mirror.nuvio.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Everything/i386/os/Pa... [1]
and downloaded the rpm files:
hal-0.5.10-1.fc8.i386.rpm
hal-0.5.10-3.fc8.i386.rpm
hal-libs-0.5.10-1.fc8.i386.rpm
and installed them using:
rpm -Uvh --oldpackage hal*
no joy...
Back to the repo, downloaded the files:
avahi-0.6.21-6.fc8.i386.rpm
dbus-1.1.2-7.fc8.i386.rpm
dbus-libs-1.1.2-7.fc8.i386.rpm
dbus-x11-1.1.2-7.fc8.i386.rpm
and installed with rpm
STILL no joy :-(
One more time to the repo and grabbed:
hal-info-20071030-1.fc8.noarch.rpm
Installed with rpm and IT WORKED!!!!!
Now, I have NOT tried updating avahi and dbus to the current version, nor tried updating
hal itself but leaving the old info files in place. I'm satisfied to leave the system
as-is until hal is fixed.
YOU might want to try updating the hal-info FIRST, and see if that is all it needs.
