I've quickly had a look at what hal is all about, and it seems to me that it's primarily for making things easier for users on a desktop, whereas it makes little or no sense on a server system? Have I overlooked anything?
I use it for mounting iSCSI volumes at boot on my servers.. Since the volume doesn't show up until network is up, and the initiator is started, HAL does this work and mounts by volume uuid as soon as it shows up.
Interesting application. I guess my question should have been more - is there anything in a vanilla SUSE server installation that _requires_ hald?
