Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: hal
I've dist-upgraded to feisty a few days ago, and since then my system is
impossible to use. I suspect it's hald's fault, because it detects some
device A LOT OF TIMES per second, adding and removing it each time. As a
result of this, hald uses like 30% of my RAM (out of 512MB), causing
extensive use of swap and really high latency. I also had to shut down
ivman supposedly as a result of this problem (it demanded even more
resources than hald).
Here's an excerpt from /var/log/daemon.log:
