20 I had the same problem:
21
22 hald was sucking 99% cpu, removables devices didn't work
23 and launching hald from terminal with the option "--daemon=no
24 --verbose=yes" i discovered it was on a infinite loop echo-ing
25 something about rules so I got in /etc/udev/rules.d
26 and found (by probing one by one) 99-libgphoto2.rules that
27 was HALS's murder.

29 I hope it's useful for you
