Public bug reported: Right after boot up I receive an internal error, "failed to initialize HAL!".
This occurred immediately after upgrading to Ubunto 7.10 My CD reader/writer and DVD reader and my combo CD/DVD reader writer are not recognized. My external hard drive no longer mounts. If I try to view System-->Preferences-->Hardware Information, a window tries to pop-up and then quicly disappears.
