Hi all,
I opened a new topic because I found anybody who has the same problem. First, I can't log myself with KDM, when I type my password and press enter, it displays me a black screen en goes back to logging session...So I read a comment which is advised to log in with GDM, it works but it's not KDM... I noticed that dbus didn't launch, I fixed that with wiki explanations, but HAL still like that:
:: Starting Hardware Abstraction Layer [FAIL]
I think it is a bug of 64bit package, but I am not sure. (32bit version works)
So Have you any ideas ? Thanks for reply.
PS: sorry for ugly english. It's not my native language.
I simply rebooted when it solved the problem...

Try starting HAL daemon manualy ( /usr/sbin/hald ) from console to see what goes wrong and why it does not start.
I'm not sure about the problem with KDM, but it could (but I'm really not sure) somehow be caused by the HAL.

add fam to your DAEMONS=( hal fam ) at rc.conf

fam is not needed by hal or KDE.

Thanks for helping, but as I added in my post, rebooting fixed the problem. And adding fam permited to log in (I think). Thanks again guys

I am having the problem logging on through KDM as well, was that what was solved by simply rebooting? Someone else is mentioning the problem here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=514615
