Public bug reported:
This bug relates to the 'services-admin' tool on edgy.
I used services-admin to not stop acpid (and not start during bootup).
This worked fine. Then after booting up a few times I re-enabled acpid
in the services-admin tool. But for some reason it wouldn't start and
gave this error:
/proc/acpi/event: Device or resource busy
After some investigation I found that the hald daemon (started by dbus)
was starting up before acpid and was spawning hal-addon-acpi. It looks
like hal-addon-acpi takes control of the /proc/acpi/event file making it
inaccessible to acpid.
The only reason for this error I can think of is that services-admin
possibly reordered the start acpid (to occur after hald).
Manually changing /etc/rc2.d/S50acpid to /etc/rc2.d/S10acpid fixed the
problem.
