severity 395995 important tags 395995 moreinfo unreproducible thanks (I'm setting severity to important, because a shutdown/restart does not usually cause data loss)
What made you conclude, it is hald, which triggers the restart? Have you tried to remove the start script /etc/dbus-1/event.d/20hal (or better, just move it someplace else, so you can move it back again)? If removing hal does not help, disable on service after the other in /etc/rc2.d, which might be related to your problem, until you find the culprit. Could you list, which files are started in /etc/dbus-1/event.d (and /etc/rcS.d, /etc/rc2.d). Did you notice this behaviour with older versions of hal also? Have you installed other software in between, that could be related to the problem? You spoke of powersaved: It's by default setup to shutdown the notebook if the battery level is under a critical level (/etc/powersave/events:EVENT_BATTERY_CRITICAL). Some laptops have *broken* batteries which need some time (30-60 sec) until they report a sane battery level value. Could be that powersaved issues a shutdown because your battery reports a critical level. This is only a guess though.
