The issue appears to lie in kernel "kernel 2.6.20-15-generic". I booted with kernel "kernel 2.6.17-11-generic" and the issues resolved. HALD and ACPI loads fine once again.
The fix would be to load an older kernel image, or if you did an upgrade, just set the default to the older kernel. I wonder if there is a patch for the kernel being worked on? -- loading ACPI modules and starting HALd took too long time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107516 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
