Hi, I have exactly the same problem, and I dug a little further.
The problem occurs when you remove an USB key while some its partitions are mounted. In that case, hald spaws an hald-addon-storage process, which polls /dev/sda every 2 seconds: [7417]: 19:56:49.153 [E] addon-storage.c:423: open failed for /dev/sda: No such file or directory [7417]: 19:56:51.157 [E] addon-storage.c:423: open failed for /dev/sda: No such file or directory [7417]: 19:56:53.161 [E] addon-storage.c:423: open failed for /dev/sda: No such file or directory But of course, /dev/sda doesn't exist anymore. I suppose that udev already removed it since the device has been unplugged. So hald stays locked waiting for hald-addon-storage to exit (or to do something ?). (FWIW, when hald-addon-storage is looping, the partitions have already been automatically unmounted. So it takes place after the unmounting). I don't know how to fix this. However, if you unmount the various partitions of the removable device before unplugging it, then it works nicely. But of course, there's still a bug: it should work even when partitions are mounted. Do not hesitate to ask for further details if needed. I'm also available on request on IRC for a direct debugging session if needed.
