I also have the problem described at
http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/inde...31.0;topicseen
specifically: 3-5 minute hang on hald at boot and "The process for the system protocol died unexpectedly" as the last event after (re-)freshing the desktop following login.
My own inadequate research turned up something odd. Checking out /etc/init.d/mountall, I noted the subcommand "mount -av -t nonfs,nonfs4,nosmbfs,nocifs,noncp,noncpfs
,nocoda,noocfs2,nogfs 2>&1" which according to mount(8) is incorrect syntax. The "no" prefix is applied to the first item in the list and applies to every subsequent item in the list. It's unclear what the semantics of this command are supposed to be. As a bugreport, either the man page or the subcommand is wrong.
I've also been thwarted in finding where hald is loaded. It appears in none of the /etc/rc*.d, nor in the texts of any of the /etc/init.d/*. So I don't find how it is invoked near S12dbus and S18hplip when switching to runlevel 2.
