haldaemon polling non-existant drives

[Greg Guldenschuh]

All,
  Withing the last 2 days, my syslog messages file has been filling up 
with these messages.  I have clipped a snippet that shows the haldaemon 
trying to access non-existent SCSI drives.  This kicks off at seeming 
random times during a session.  I cannot find anything that appears to 
set this off.  It does not happen immediately upon boot up, and we can 
go several hours before this begins.  So far I have been able to stop 
this by stopping the haldaemon.  Can anyone shed some light on this?  I 
am running 2.6.11-1.14_FC3 on an AMD 2000+ with 1GB RAM 2 IDE drives, A 
CD-RW and a combination floppy/digital media device.  Thanks.
