Have you found a fix for this I am getting the same issue or at least very similar.  Has only been as of the latest update.

I think it said something about not being able to access a certain memory.

It causes Hal and dbus to fail to start up.

phoenix, don't post in old threads: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/For … Bumping.27

Try reinstalling dbus-core - if that doesn't work, start a new thread.

Closed.
