As I mentioned before - We home using 2 micro switches. one switch is on the linear slide and one is on the timing gear.
http://www.electronicsam.com/images/KandT/homesw.jpeg the 2 switches are hooked in series. so when the linear closes then it waits for the one on the timing gear to close. then it does the homing dance. :) I would think you could do the same thing (in hal) with the index pulse - just go slow enough that you won't miss it.
