Hi,

udev and hal should be kept in sync with the kernel that you are using.

udev enables Linux to provide a persistent naming of devices in the /dev directory as well as providing a dynamic device naming in /dev. Since udev relies on the structure of /sys (which is known it change from time to time in kernel releases) it is recommended to keep udev in sync with the kernel.

HAL provides an abstract view on the hardware and again it is highly coupled to the kernel.

I suspect that changing the kernel and not upgrading udev and hal is causing the segmentation fault at boot up.
