It happened after a reboot - I blamed this update due to the "hal" in the error message.
I've downgraded ("sudo apt-get install hal/jaunty libhal1/jaunty libhal- storage1/jaunty") but the problem remained through several reboots until I did a shutdown and then poweron. Therefore I suspect some part(s) of the hardware might have been in a weird state and there is nothing wrong with the update. -- hald crashed with SIGSEGV in hotplug_event_begin_add_blockdev when assembling mdraid devices https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/361689 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
