I confirm : on Hardy (8.04) I found /etc/rc2.d/S50dbus - after renaming to S12dbus (ie. must be less than gdm, pulseaudio and avahi), the system starts normally. Prior to that, there used to be a message after login 'Internal error : failed to initialize HAL' and NM and other things were not working. My system is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/AcerAspire3023, with all recent updates.
