I've managed to fix it with
sudo -i
cd /etc/rc2.d
ln -s S10dbus ../init.d/dbus
rm S50dbus
I'm not sure why HAL is S12hal and dbus was S50dbus when HAL needs dbus
to function.
I wonder what the proper fix is?

Same problem here, any pointers to where to start debugging this?
First login to gnome gives Error: Failed to initialize HAL
if I restart dbus and logout/login everything seems to work.
