Hi All,

I noticed on a box of mine that hald won't start:
==========================================
# /etc/init.d/hald restart
 * Starting Hardware Abstraction Layer daemon ...          [ !! ]
==========================================

Confusingly, the logs don't show anything.  How do I troubleshoot this?
    

I just noticed that I do not have CONFIG_INOTIFY_USER enabled in the kernel.  
Perhaps this has something to do with it?

I'm not positive but I had several errors because I was missing that option in my kernel.  You may want to build that one in regardless, just to prevent future problems.  I seem to recall that the error I got told me I needed that in the kernel but that was a few weeks ago and I'm not a elephant.  :/  It's a good place to start though.
