Hald hangs my system, totally

[Ralph Blach]

I am having problems with hald hanging my system

When I run it, my system totally hangs up,
the keyboad get disconnected, the mouse wont move, and when I reboot,
there is nothing in the error logs.

I cannot ctl-alt-backspace to get out of x and I cannot ping or ssh into
the system.  It seems to be totally hung.  My son, who is running fedora
also is seeing the same behavior.

Here my system setup
/proc/version

Linux version 2.6.10-1.760_FC3 (bhcompile at bugs.build.redhat.com) (gcc
version 3.4.2 20041017 (Red Hat 3.4.2-6.fc3)) #1 Wed Feb 2 00:14:23 EST 2005

hal-0.4.7-1.FC3
hal-cups-utils-0.5.2-8dbus-python-0.22-10.FC3.2
dbus-devel-0.22-10.FC3.2
dbus-glib-0.22-10.FC3.2
dbus-x11-0.22-10.FC3.2
dbus-0.22-10.FC3.2

Any ideas..
