Comment: Upgraded system at 11am 3rd March, after seeing above two messages from Martin Pitt. Works here! No Hal error on Gnome startup any more, and invoking System->Administration->Device Manager now works (albeit with a ten to fifteen second 'pause for thought' between the Device Manager appearing and actually populating with information).
