I suspect it's hald that is causing it. Sometimes FreeBSD panics when booting and starting gdm. And only then I get information that hald is causing a page fault. When booting I get: ... /etc/rc: WARNING: run_rc_command: cannot run /usr/local/sbin/polkitd /etc/rc: WARNING: $dbus_enable is not set properly - see rc.conf(5). ... And after that tons of messages every 30 seconds like: ... gnome-keyring-daemon[1371]: Scheduling hal init retry gnome-keyring-daemon[1371]: failed to initialize a HAL context: (null) ... I start gnome with gnome_enable="YES" in my rc.conf. Problem about hald is that it just won't start. When I try to start it manually, it just exits with a "signal 11". Anyone an idea how to run hald and make FreeBSD stable again? I'm running FreeBSD 7.0-stable, Gnome-2.22 and hal-0.5.11.
