SUSE Recommended Update: Recommended update for hal
This update for hal provides the following fixes and
enhancements:
* Do not install a signal handler on the forked hal
daemon before being able to properly handle it.
* Allow disabling storage device probing by setting
HALD_IGNORE_STORAGE to "yes" in /etc/sysconfig/hal.
* Do not kill the child when it takes too long to probe
devices, as it will only shutdown hald after the probe is
complete.
