[Mageia-discuss] Vicious problem with missing hal in alpha 1

[Juergen Harms]

I have now filed:

Bugzilla #2476: the problem mounting a DVD medium

The urpmi / hal problem has been reported while we had this discussion:
Bugzilla #3458

a 3rd bug (the hostname problem mentioned in my original mail) had 
already been filed: Bugzilla #2938 (workaround: immediately after boot: 
do a command-line "hostname <your-host-name>" - that solves the problem 
until your next boot, than you have to do it again.
