I use the most updated version of Dapper Beta at the moment, and I have received the "HAL failed to initialize" message on GNOME bootup as well. ps aux|grep dbus.*system output: 104 7177 0.0 0.1 2192 888 ? Ss 14:18 0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system vvlist 16360 0.0 0.1 2884 864 pts/0 R+ 17:57 0:00 grep dbus.*system And I can confirm that "sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart" does not fix it. My system is an IBM T40 if that helps.
