Package: hal Version: 0.5.8.1-1 Severity: normal Hi,
After having updated the hal from version 0.5.7.1-2. I found that the hal is unable to manage partitions from my root hard drive, though with other hard disks everything is OK. Here are messages regarding hal and hda from syslog: Oct 6 02:06:31 aw hald[14356]: 02:06:31.602 [I] coldplug.c:252: found in udevdb '/sys/block/hda' '/dev/hda' Oct 6 02:06:31 aw hald[14356]:
