FC3 haldaemon freeze or lock of kernel in runlevel 3

[Skunk Worx <skunkworx@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just a note...I upgraded a server from FC1 to FC3 and found it appeared 
to lock up whilst launching named.

then I found I could at least boot into runlevels 1 and 2 for debugging, 
and named was actually starting/stopping just fine.

finally by examining the daemon sets between runlevel 2 and runlevel 3, 
and starting the daemons in sequence, i found the culprit...anytime i 
try to start the haldaemon (/usr/sbin/hald) the machine locks hard with 
no cmdline, dmesg or syslog errors.

for now i have used chkconfig to disable this daemon in all runlevels.
