The problem with hald is that it does something when it needs wo be quiet.
This is a result of using incorrect rules for detecting media insertion.
On Solaris, hald has been patched not to use this buggy algorithm but to
call an ioctl() instead that calls correct code which is living in the kernel
sd driver.
I posted the correct algorithm many times in the net, so it seems that there is
little hope to get a fix.
