Here's what I've gathered from bootlogd: Thu Feb 9 00:43:06 2006: Starting system message bus: dbus. Thu Feb 9 00:43:06 2006: Starting Hardware abstraction layer: hald. Thu Feb 9 00:43:10 2006: Starting Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Daemon: avahi-daemon. Thu Feb 9 00:43:10 2006: Starting dictionary server: dictd. Thu Feb 9 00:43:11 2006: Starting DirMngr: dirmngr. Thu Feb 9 00:43:12 2006: Starting mouse interface server: gpm. Thu Feb 9 00:43:12 2006: Starting internet superserver: inetd. Thu Feb 9 00:43:12 2006: Setting up manual keycodes Thu Feb 9 00:43:12 2006: Enabling laptop mode: enabled, not active. Thu Feb 9 00:43:12 2006: Starting Name Service Cache Daemon: nscd. Thu Feb 9 00:43:12 2006: Starting mail transport agent: Postfix. Thu Feb 9 00:43:13 2006: Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server: sshd. Thu Feb 9 00:43:13 2006: Setting up X font server socket directory /tmp/.font-unix...done. Thu Feb 9 00:43:14 2006: Starting X font server: xfs. Thu Feb 9 00:43:14 2006: Starting mail server: dovecot. Thu Feb 9 00:43:14 2006: Starting power management daemon: powersavedacpid: can't open /proc/acpi/event: Device or resource busy So you can see that /proc/acpi/event is shown as busy. When I did an `lsof /proc/acpi/event` it gave me the result that one of hal's binary, hal-device-manager IIRC, was locking /proc/acpi/event. I'll confirm the binary as I reboot my laptop. Interesting part is that once you stop dbus (which stops hal) and start powersaved, it works. Then you can restart dbus+hal. And after that a restart of powersaved succeeds. Please let me know if you need any more information. Once I reboot I'll try to submit the exact steps again.
