haldaemon failed after updagrading kernel to 2.6.15


I updated my RHEL kernel to the latest Fedora 2.6.15-1.1823_FC4 testing kernel in order to make the DMA function of my IDE DVD burner work because my ThinkPad Z60m has a combination of SATA harddrive plus IDE DVD drive. After updating, my DVD burner is greatly speeded up! But I noticed that my hal-0.4.2-1.EL4 stopped working. Everytime when I started it using:

service haldaemon start

it says:

Stopping HAL daemon: [FAILED]
Starting HAL daemon: [ OK ]

But when I use: service haldaemon status to check its status, it says

hald is stopped

I checked the /var/log/messages, it says:

Jan 10 11:41:06 matrix haldaemon: haldaemon shutdown failed
Jan 10 11:41:09 matrix haldaemon: haldaemon startup succeeded
Jan 10 11:41:09 matrix fstab-sync[5566]: removed all generated mount points
Jan 10 11:41:10 matrix fstab-sync[5587]: added mount point /media/cdrecorder for /dev/scd0

I swear that my DVD drive works totally fine and the mount point is completely legal, all of them exist! Plus my messagebus works fine:

[shrek@matrix ~]$ service messagebus status
dbus-daemon-1 (pid 5043 4291) is running...

So I don't know what's going wrong with hal? Is it not compatible with 2.6.15 kernel? Any solutions? Because now I have to manually mount every removable media when I plug them. It's annoying! Thanks for any help!

I'm having no problems with hal using a compiled vanilla 2.6.15 kernel from kernel.org;

$ uname -a
Linux Aspire5000 2.6.15 #1 Tue Jan 3 09:30:14 EST 2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ service messagebus status
dbus-daemon (pid 3101 2732) is running...

$ service haldaemon status
hald (pid 2739) is running...

I am using the hal rpms from the development tree however;

[lenard@Aspire5000 ~]$ rpm -qa --queryformat '%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}.rpm\n' 'hal*'
hal-0.5.2-2.i386.rpm
hal-0.5.2-2.x86_64.rpm

And I see that a newer version (then when I got mine) are now available;
