I feel so inept... but I did almost all my usual "debugging" all except for
running top, if I had then I would have seen hald was running cpu1 at 100%.

There was nothing in /var/log, dmesg didn't reveal anything, no boot errors,
but when I did load current I used mainly the console, just wanted to see if
acpi sleep really worked, but got to liking the improvements, so then I ran
X/gnome to copy/paste to my email. Gnome from 7.2 ran on current all except
for hald and fuse. Need to do a full upgrade now...

Thanks everyone.
