lshal command is not working in RedHat

lshal command is not working in RadHat Linux 9.

Whether it is not supported in RedHat or is any other equivalent command for lshal ?

What kernel are you using?

As far as I know HAL is only supported in 2.6> kernels.

Thanks for your valuable reply.

kernel version of machine am using is 2.4.

I have checked that command with some other machine those have kernel version 2.6 its working.

Is any other compatible command for lshal in 2.4 ?

Well, without knowing what you are trying to do it would be hard to tell.

There is a patch for 2.4 kernels called RTAI. I've never tried it myself but it's based on the HAL concept (RTHAL).

If you are looking for a list of components on a platform, try lshw or hwinfo.

hal is also deprecated pretty much moving forward. Just fyi.

So... no hal in something old like Red Hat 9... and no hal in future versions of Linux (not sure when it will be totally dropped).

HAL was deprecated in favor of DeviceKit which in turn was depreciated in favor of UDEV. What a mess! I really liked the simplicity of HAL. One of the problems with open source is that if a way can be found to complicate an abstraction, it will be found.
