hal.hotplug and separate /usr

Dalius · 2006-01-05 10:49:47

Hello fellow Archers,

Recently I have upgraded to udev 079-1 in current, and now have some problems booting.
The thing is, that my /usr is on separate partition from /, so when initscripts are starting udev daemon, only / is mounted, and udev cannot see the /usr/libexec/hal.hotplug file, which it, apparently, needs for proper functioning.

The questions:
Is it possible to put hal.hotplug in / (for short term fix)?
Could it be possible to modify the hal (or udev) package so it can safely be used with separate /usr?
If above answer to the above two is "no," then could I ignore those message on bootup?

P.S.
I had a simillar problem before with initscripts-gensplash package. Because they were only bash scripts, I modified them myself to read nessesary files from /lib/splash/ and copied them there (that's the way gentoo guys did it).

Sorry for asking stupid questions, but when I do pacman -Syu (with testing enabled), I can see only hal-4, which is currently installed. Where can I get the updated version?

P.S
The exact package I get is hal 0.5.5.1-4.
