Let me just explain what happened. VBox 1.5.2 had a typo that made it load libhal.so which of course is only installed if you install the libhal-dev package. When I read that they fixed this typo to read libhal.so.1 I thought it might fix your problem too, which is fortunately did. We all didn't notice because we had libhal-dev installed which is needed to build virtualbox-ose. Which brings up one other thought, namely that virtualbox does work without libhal, but should have libhal installed. Also it shows that virtualbox does not directly link to libhal. Thus I added it as recommended, which will hopefully make sure that a similar situation doesn't come up again.
