failed on starting hal

I've started dbus, and can't get hal running..

[root@henry_lee ~]# ps aux | grep dbus
root      3818  0.0  0.2   2552   756 ?        S    09:37   0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-l

root      4292  0.0  0.3   1940   784 pts/0    S+   12:41   0:00 grep dbus

if I run hal manually as below:

hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes

the tail of the output is as below:

Re: failed on starting hal

HAL package version: 0.5.5.1
D-BUS Message Bus Daemon 0.50
kernel 2.6.13
use udev with devfs turned off (by boot option "devfs=nomount")

thank you very much..

Re: failed on starting hal

Try one of the latest dbus versions, and make sure you restart dbus before starting hal. There have been some movements of socket locations.

Re: failed on starting hal

my dbus version is 0.50-8 which had just upgraded.
but still failed on starting hal.
and I'm sure that I've started dbus before hal.

what can I do now?

ps. how could I know which program will need dbus or hal?[/list]

Re: failed on starting hal

what is hal doing exactly when you try to start it through /etc/rc.d/?

If it hangs or gives unknown user errors, try reinstalling filesystem.

Re: failed on starting hal

Excuse me, but after upgrading, my HAL still gets out of work.
I've noticed the following error message while running hald as

[root@henry_lee ~]# /usr/sbin/hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes --retain-privileges

(and the error messages: )

10:12:44.156 [I] hald.c:653: Device probing completed
10:12:44.156 [I] hald_dbus.c:3063: entering
10:12:44.156 [E] hald_dbus.c:3070: dbus_bus_get(): Failed to connect to socket /var/lib/dbus/system_bus_socket: Connection refused

Also I've checked the specified socket:

[root@henry_lee ~]# ls -l /var/lib/dbus/system_bus_socket srwxrwxrwx  1 root root 0 2005-11-12 12:39 /var/lib/dbus/system_bus_socket

But I don't know what else can I do...
Here is my versions:
HAL package version: 0.5.5.1
dbus package version: 0.50-8
kernel: 2.6.14
------------------
Does anyone know how to debug this?
Thanks in advance..
