The last boot message (at which the machine apparently hangs) is "Starting avahi-daemon." >Description: The machine is a Dell 600m, 512M, 160GB hard disk. It has Ubuntu and FreeBSD as a dual boot. I installed FreeBSD 7.0 and everything was fine. I added the Gnome2 package and the first few times everything was fine. I was trying to set up the wireless card and got it working. The first time this bug happened, the message was "$dbus_enable is not set correctly" followed by "$polkitd_enable is not set correctly". I included the 3 lines in /etc/rc.conf: polkitd_enable="YES", dbus_enable="YES" and hald_enable="YES". It booted fine a few times after that. Throughout, I have been fiddling with my network configuration in /etc/rc.conf, /etc/hosts and /etc/nsswitch.conf. Here are the files that I was playing with: My /etc/hosts file reads: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.my.domain laptop2 192.168.2.4 laptop2 laptop2.my.domain My /etc/rc.conf files reads: defaultrouter="192.168.2.1" hostname="laptop2" ifconfig_bge0="DHCP" ifconfig_iwi0="WPA DHCP" gnome_enable="YES" dbus_enable="YES" hald_enable="YES" polkitd_enable="YES" linux_enable="YES" moused_enable="YES" moused_port="/dev/psm0" moused_type="auto" >How-To-Repeat: The computer stops in the same place most of the time. Sometimes, it boots without a problem. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
