This is not a problem on amd64 but is on x86. In the /etc/udev/rules.d/90-hal.rules file, a typo exists: # pass all events to the HAL daemon RUN+="socket:/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event" # unmount block devices when they are removed SUBSYSTEM=="block",ACTION="remove", RUN+="hal_unmount" The ACTION needs another equal sign. # pass all events to the HAL daemon RUN+="socket:/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event" # unmount block devices when they are removed SUBSYSTEM=="block",ACTION=="remove", RUN+="hal_unmount" To not do so results in 2 errors reported during boot time.
Please update to >=hal-0.5.7-r2. This has already been fixed.

0.5.7-r3 is the version requested stable. the x86 team has not marked it stable for whatever their reason is. The bug is still invalid from the Gentopia herd's perspective. However the x86 team should mark this stable
x86 is done ^.^;;
