Hi,

Could you send at [email protected] the output of 'dumpdiag' please? 
Type the following in a root shell:

---
hsfconfig --dumpdiag
---

If the previous command crashes your machine, please try this one instead:

---
hsfconfig --dumpdiag --noprobe
---

Just send us the generated file located in /tmp ('hsfdiag.txt').
It'll help us solve the problem.

Regards,
