Public bug reported:
When logging to Gnome desktop, a popup window appears every time with
the text "Internal error. Failed to initialize HAL!". This is on a fresh
install AMD64 Edge Beta on an ASUS A6Km notebook. Dapper never had this
problem.
I found a similar bug report which suggested the pro
This bug still exists in Edgy RC.
Also I noticed that suspend / hibernate does not work because of this
bug. These options are not displayed on the System > Quit... menu. Very
problematic for notebook users.
On a custom compiled 2.6.18 kernel suspend and hibernate work fine and I
also don't get t
I'm affraid not zekus. The only workaround I've found is to build your
own custom 2.6.18 kernel. Whatever is causing this problem seems to be

Here's a partial solution that works at least on my A6Km. Fire up your
text editor and point it at /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist. Add the following
line and then reboot.
blacklist asus_acpi
For some reason the hal daemon in Edgy doesn't like this module (Asus
notebook acpi extras) on the A6 series no
That is strange. On my notebook blacklisting asus_acpi really does
help... maybe it only works on the A6Km. :/
Could you try blacklisting some of the other acpi modules? You can find
them all in the directory below. You also need to add seperate lines in
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist for every module.
