Description:

I updated my system and after logging into X my keyboard and mouse failed to work. After some looking around I noticed hal was segfaulting soon after start. The error before the segfault was: "CRITICAL: hal_property_get_string: assertion `prop-type == HAL_PROPERTY_TYPE_STRING' failed"

I then started downgrading and upgrading individual packages to nail it down to kernel26

Additional info:

The attached file is the only policy I use for hal, beside that it is as provided by the package.

hal 0.5.11-7
hal-info 0.20081219-1

Steps to reproduce:
Update kernel26 to 2.6.28.8-1
Reboot
Watch hal fail to start
This task depends upon
