Hi all, recently upgraded filesystem and mkinitcpio.
[2009-01-19 12:10] upgraded filesystem (2008.07-1 -> 2009.01-1)
[2009-01-19 12:10] upgraded mkinitcpio (0.5.20-1 -> 0.5.21-1)
Merged the /etc/group.pacnew and rebooted.
Now usb-stick and optical aren't available. HAL doesn't (?) start although during booting it seems to start as a daemon but when I try to start/ restart HAL by issuing /etc/rc.d/hal start (as root) it fails.
I can confirm that I am a member of the optical and storage group...
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Stupido stupido me! I simply forgot to add "hal" in /etc/group when I merged pacsave...

because you merged a default /etc/group file with you current group file. BIG MISTAKE
you can try to add missing groups and then add your username to them.
also i think /etc/group- is a backup and you can rename it to /etc/group

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

I added the missing entries from my group file to group.pacsave file, and then moved the pacsave file to /etc/group.
I compared with /etc/group- and those files are identical.

I should have been more clear - what I meant to say is that I manually added the missing entries into the group.pacsave file before replacing the original group file with it, but HAL does not work.

Downgrading the packages (filesystem + mkinitcpio) don't help either...
Weird!
