When hald is started, my optical devices (dvdrw and dvdrom) are ejected, if I close they, they are ejected again. If I run hald --verbose=yes I get the following: (view attatchment) Also, if I remove /usr/libexec/hald-probe-storage the problem disappears, if I don't remove it, I have to kill hald-addon-storage process.
