Yes, very sure. You can't use autofs on a system that is using hald... You can modify hal actions via config files to play nice with cdroms and such, but you never get hal to leave cf cards alone. On a few of the forums that I've found, have called this a pretty major bug... On my own personal view, the way that kde handles things with hal, dbus and pmount are kinda of kludgy.
