So the PS/2 drivers have been working for years and all of a sudden hal
comes along and breaks them? Then on top of that, removing hal AND
using the same kernel results in the PS/2 ports working again. Logic
tells me it was hal, not the kernel.
Me too, but you can't know for definite, so you can't really say that
your system has been problem free using everything built in, after all,
very few people experienced your HAL issues. You seem to have had almost
as much trouble with it as Dave Bowman.
In theory, maybe. Thing is, I booted the exact same kernel with all
that mess. So, the kernel was not the issue. If the kernel had got
corrupt or something, it wouldn't have worked when I removed hal
either. That much I am sure of. I used that same kernel for a good
while afterwards. I don't update the kernel to often.
I could also say that having modules isn't always going to help either.
I'm sure some poor soul has had to reboot even tho it was a bad module.
