HAL won't start

Yesterday, after a reboot, I am suddenly finding that HAL won't start anymore.

As far as I can see, it hasn't been upgraded for a while, tried re-installing as well. running

/etc/rc.d/hal start

just leaves it hanging at 'busy'.

How can I fix this?

Re: HAL won't start

Taken from the wiki:

NOTE: Some people have reported problems with this setup. If you also experience problems also you should try loading hal first followed by dbus.

You tried it?

Re: HAL won't start

Also, try unplugging one external device and then booting, if it works you know the problem.  Do that until you've done them all.
