One month later and still no solution, or at least, not a permanent one.
I have this same annoying bug ("Failed to initialize HAL" after adding
smbfs share to /etc/fstab), however only when I boot with kernel
2.6.15-26-386. Booting with a previous version of the kernel,
2.6.15-23-386, everything is working fine. I would say: "Devs hop to
it!".-- 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
