Can you run: strace -eopen,ioctl,close hald --daemon=no
After hal startup this should show you someting like every few seconds:
open("/dev/hdc", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE) = 0 ioctl(0, 0x5326, 0x7fffffff) = 1 close(0) = 0
Which is hal polling my /dev/hdc for volumes..
This is what I get (a volume is inserted in each drive)
open("/dev/hda", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE) = 0
ioctl(0, CDROM_DRIVE_STATUS, 0x7fffffff) = 1
close(0) = 0
open("/dev/hdc", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE) = 0
ioctl(0, CDROM_DRIVE_STATUS, 0x7fffffff) = 1
close(0) = 0
open("/dev/sdc", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOMEDIUM (No medium found)/dev/hdc is an USB compact flash reader witohut a card inside.
