I am also experiencing this bug, using the k7 kernel on an nForce 4 mobo. Changing the mount option from smbfs to cifs works as a stopgap measure.
Is someone working on this? -- auto smbfs mount in /etc/fstab causes hald hang at boot https://launchpad.net/bugs/44874 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
