hald not running, says it starts, but still not running

[Andrew]

Hi,

As root, do this
hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes
see what you get...
Build system reports a new hal package for 10/2 so updating might fix it 
I haven't done that yet. (otherwise drop back to hal-0.2.98cvs20040923 
which works OK)
