When starting the hald daemon via /etc/init.d/hald start the following processes are started:
root     10098  0.3  0.1  10748  2140 pts/1    S+   16:02   0:00 /bin/bash /sbin/runscript.sh /etc/init.d/hald start

As you can see the cpu load is very high and hal doesn't finish to intialize itself properly.
after that I killed all the hald processes and started it manually:
hald --verbose=yes --daemon=no

Here is the output that should be interesting. I don't know if the error "got a connection 79ae00" has anything to do with it nor do I know what it actually means.
It totally gets stuck here, this is what causes the high cpu load:

Then the console gets flooded with the following which eats around 11% of my cpu resources and of course never stops.
