Possible missing file in hal installation

I've been frustrating by the hal problem which is probably due to lack 
of hald-addon-acpi or similar stuff. here's the output from the commands:

then it got stuck and CPU ran up to 100%. Evidence shows it is very 
likely related to the missing of hald-addon-acpi.

Here's some system information maybe helpful:

Also, from discussion on ##freebsd at freenode, hald-addon-acpi is 
considered to be linux-stuff, so maybe stale configuration is 
responsible too. It is also interesting that there are other people who 
also got hald-addon-acpi missing but hald still functions correctly, so 
maybe something else is indeed the problem.

Response is highly honored.
