ok on my system i get:
Code:
root 6582 1 0 12:48 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/hald --daemon=yes --retain-privileges
root 6588 6582 0 12:48 ? 00:00:00 hald-addon-acpi
root 6595 6582 0 12:48 ? 00:00:00 hald-addon-storage
root 6598 6582 0 12:48 ? 00:00:00 hald-addon-storage
root 6848 6582 0 12:49 ? 00:00:00 hald-addon-storage
although it is slackware.....
you can upgrade if you like, but it's strange how it stopped working... you could always try upgrading to breezy.... that might fix it but u'd need broadband and it's hardly addressing what the problem actually is.....
