HAL did not initialize -

[linley caetan]

I m on a Tosh intel A100
feisty kdm/gdm/gnome/kde
Laptop froze today on playing a corrupted mp3 from a multi media card.
on reboot I get HAL failed to initalize on starting GNOME on any account.Now running very sluggish.
Fixed this before by deleting .Xauthority 
But did not work today.
Any ideas.
