 | | | HAL daemon hangs RHEL 4 Update 2 box @ bootup | HAL daemon hangs RHEL 4 Update 2 box @ bootup 2006-03-27 - By Marc M

Basically what happens is that I do an 'everything' install (required for
this machine) and all goes well, then when it does its first full bootup it
is hung forever. Obviously the box *does* boot up fully, because I can ssh
into it if I wait a little bit. But I am wondering how to kill HAL,
whatever that is. Actually I don't want to just kill it, I want to
permanently disable it if there is a way to do that. So my options are:
- Any kernel parameters to pass at the same time? Already have 'rhgb
quiet' appended (install did it not me);
- When I ssh in, can anyone tell me how to turn it all off via CLI? I know
how to do kill -9 but I don't know enough about init and related bootup
files. I do not want to just do a ps -ef| grep HAL* and kill it by process
number. Instead I want to remove it but I would also like to know what the
heck it is, for curiosity's sake.
- Does anyone know of a specific HAL daemon rpm package that I could just
remove? I do know how to do that.
- Which brings me to the 'everything' install. Is this really safe to do?
I am given req's to do that with this machine, but ordinarily I would want
to do a somewhat conservative type of install, adding in only what I think I
need, or might need. SELinux is off on this machine, as is the firewall so
I know they aren't interfering.
- Oh, one more thing, please don't tell me to just do up2date. I am on a
disconnected DoD network and I cannot just connect up to the RHN / Internet
for that for both security related and procedural reasons.
Thanks in advance,
Marc
