Andriy, Can you try running hald with debug and see if you get the same failure I have reported? '/usr/local/sbin/hald --daemon=no --debug=yes' See if the failure is with hal-runner exiting during the USB scan. That will confirm that it is the same issue. I need to have some time to do debug to see where this is failing and I'm rather swamped both at work and at home. (My home Windows system died last week and the replacement just arrived yesterday, so I am busy getting software installed, moving data files from the old disk and learning what does not work. (E.g. No USB support for Palm devices on 64-bit Windows. I really hate Windows, but I need software that has no other support. I do hope that I can work on it this weekend after I get the new system into reasonable shape and get about a yard of redwood bark spread on the hill in my back yard. One of Joe's suggestions was to unplug everything from the USB, but I have the problem with nothing plugged in. There are only two internal devices, the fingerprint reader and an IBM serial converter which FreeBSD simply does not recognize. Biometric Coprocessor STMicroelectronics product 0x4482 vendor 0x04b3 (This is the IBM serial converter) BIOS has no options to disable these. -- R.
