starting hald using /etc/init.d/hald results in an [!!] output on startup. Adding an --verbose=yes --daemon=no to the init script generates the shell output: 7551: 02:00:10.262: volume_id_get_buffer: read seekbuf off:0x1b7a521800 len:0x200 7551: 02:00:10.262: volume_id_get_buffer: got 0x200 (512) bytes 7551: 02:00:10.262: volume_id_probe_msdos_part_table: found 0x7 data partition at 0x7e00, len 0xade405800 7551: 02:00:10.263: probe-volume.c:564: Number of partitions = 8 /usr/libexec/hald-probe-volume exited scandir: No such file or directory scandir: No such file or directory Sent kill to 7512 Sent kill to 7535 Sent kill to 7542 /usr/libexec/hald-addon-keyboard exited /usr/libexec/hald-addon-storage exited [ !! ] tail of /var/log/messages: May 18 02:00:08 gentoole hald[7505]: 02:00:08.779 [I] hald_dbus.c:3195: 7505: Got a connection May 18 02:00:08 gentoole hald[7505]: 02:00:08.779 [I] hald_dbus.c:3196: dbus_connection_get_is_connected = 1 May 18 02:00:08 gentoole hald[7505]: 02:00:08.789 [D] hald_dbus.c:1192: udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/temp/105, key=volume.block_size May 18 02:00:08 gentoole hald[7505]: 02:00:08.791 [D] hald_dbus.c:1192: udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/temp/105, key=volume.size May 18 02:00:08 gentoole hald[7505]: 02:00:08.899 [D] hald_dbus.c:1192: udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/temp/105, key=volume.fsusage May 18 02:00:08 gentoole hald[7505]: 02:00:08.912 [D] hald_dbus.c:1192: udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/temp/105, key=volume.fstype May 18 02:00:08 gentoole hald[7505]: 02:00:08.922 [D] hald_dbus.c:1192: udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/temp/105, key=volume.fsversion May 18 02:00:08 gentoole hald[7505]: 02:00:08.935 [D] hald_dbus.c:1192: udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/temp/105, key=volume.uuid May 18 02:00:08 gentoole hald[7505]: 02:00:08.945 [D] hald_dbus.c:1192: udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/temp/105, key=volume.label May 18 02:00:08 gentoole hald[7505]: 02:00:08.946 [D] hald_dbus.c:1192: udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/temp/105, key=info.product May 18 02:00:08 gentoole hald[7505]: 02:00:08.948 [D] hald_dbus.c:1192: udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/temp/105, key=volume.partition.msdos_part_table_type May 18 02:00:08 gentoole hald[7505]: 02:00:08.959 [I] blockdev.c:377: entering;

Seems to be related to dbus policies, but I never changed any of those. I have the latest stable version of dbus installed (sys-apps/dbus-1.0.2-r2).
Which ebuild installed this? emerge portage-utils; qfile 10-dell-rfkill-switch.fdi
qfile 10-dell-rfkill-switch.fdi: app-misc/hal-info (/usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-dell-rfkill-switch.fdi) please take also a look at the syslog output attachment above. The last lines there give a hint on a dbus related problem.
I just unmerged hal-info since this belongs to hal 0.5.9xxx, which I tried once alternatively to 0.5.7.1-r5, but the dbus error message still persists. tail of syslog: May 18 10:44:00 gentoole hald[8060]: 10:44:00.381 [I] hald.c:82: Added device to GDL; udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_993bd7e4_d79c_4c27_8924_5f3adac48038 May 18 10:44:00 gentoole hald[8060]: 10:44:00.381 [I] hald.c:616: Device probing completed May 18 10:44:00 gentoole hald[8060]: 10:44:00.382 [I] hald_dbus.c:3251: entering May 18 10:44:00 gentoole hald[8060]: 10:44:00.383 [E] hald_dbus.c:3258: dbus_bus_get(): Did not receive a reply.

Uh; app-misc/hal-info requires >=hal-0.5.9. Unmerge it or upgrade your hal.
