I have the same problem; as I watch the boot messages go by, "Starting HAL"
alwasys fails. When I start it manually later, using the init script, it runs
for a minute or two, then exits. And, like you, udev is okay and dbus is
running. 2007.1 is the only distro on which I've seen this problem. My other
systems(Mdk LE 2005, Mdv 2007.0 and OpenSUSE 10.2) start HAL at boot with no
problems whatever.
