I'm running a 2.6.10-gentoo-r6 kernel, udev 052, hal 0.47 and I can't see my IDE discs nor CDS in HAL. Talking with HAL developers it seems that the problem is in udev. For example it happens this # udevinfo -r -q name -p /sys/block/hda device not found in database and yes, I have rebooted after udev 052 install (with the 045 considerad stable the udev.tbd didn't even get created). The "strange" fact is that if I plug an USB key (so, a SCSI device, sda1), it all works flawlessy, from udev til KDE 3.4 which do everything automagically. So I'm thinking the problem is in the ide-devfs.sh script. I'm using a NVida NForce2 based motherboard (if it has something to do with the IDE chipset) and devfs is NOT mounted at boot. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Ok, it seems that the problem is cause I'm not running a pure udev system. With a pure one, HAL seems to work (but I have lots of other problems). I let opened the bug cause I don't know if it possible getting it working as expected even with a non-pure udev sysstem (said: the easiest way that is reported in the udev tutorial)

So, it's not a udev issue, or a hal issue :) Closing the bug...
