[Bug 31517] Re: hal-device-manager does not load

[Tolan Blundell]

I've finally found what was kicking this off, though I think it's more a
symptom than a cause.

I had SMB shares auto-mounting. Removing them from fstab fixed the
problem, lshal now gives output and update-notifier now works.

>From the variety of fixes that have worked for people it looks to me
like something in the start-scripts for hal is being brittle...
