You should probably file this as a bug in Launchpad instead of going
directly upstream, but let's have a look here.

> root at eee-kubu:/# /etc/init.d/hal start
>  * Starting Hardware abstraction layer hald                                     
> root at eee-kubu:/# ps aux | grep hal
> root      6643  0.0  0.0   3012   772 pts/2    S+   21:53   0:00 grep hal

Can you please do this:

# hald --verbose=yes --daemon=no 2>&1 | tee /tmp/hal.log

This will startup hal in the foreground in debugging mode. It should
die and return to the prompt after a few seconds. Please send
/tmp/hal.log, it should have some hints.

Martin
