Internal error failed to inialize HAL !

I want to thank you for a truely wonderful product. I have been with Microsoft since 1987 (MS-DOS 3.3) and have experienced many transitions in the interum. I was seeking an alternative to what I now refer to as "the Microsoft maddness" the transition to Linux was daunting but you folks have made it a pleasure. I am currently running Fiesty Fawn and if this is the Alpha I cannot imagine RC1!

Thanks for your bug report. Could you please add the full output of 'dmesg' after you have booted up? Thanks in advance.

I hope you will forgive me I am not knowledgeable in Linux. If you are suggesting that I look in syslog, then under what sub-heading?

'dmesg' is a command that will return all of the kernel messages since the last boot up. So if you could execute 'dmesg > dmesg.log' this will redirect the output of dmesg to the file dmesg.log. Then please attach this file to your bug report. Thanks in advance.
