Bug Description
I set my laptop up to go to hibernate on lid closed. I tested this by faking a closed lid, HAL went into hibernate but came out immediately. I then set it to go to sleep on lid closed, HAL went to sleep without a problem but when the lid was open it just gave me a blank white screen. No feedback was given in either case.
I'm using the latest ubuntu kernel on Dapper beta.

I have possibly the same issue with a Dell D600. I can suspend or hibernate once, but often the hald-addon-storage process will get into an uninterruptible sleep state (as shown by the ps command) and then I cannot hibernate of suspend anymore. If I edit the /usr/share/ hal/fdi/ policy/ ... files so that process doesn't start, my suspend and hibernate problems go away, but then all the processes that automatically mount CDs don't work. I can also remove the CDRW/DVD drive from the D600 before booting and I can suspend and hibernate at will. Why don't you check using:
ps aux | grep hald
and see if the hald-addon-storage process has a D or and S in the status collumn. D indicates uninterruptable sleep. S indicates sleep. Sometimes you can change it from D to S by inserting a CD in the CDROM, but sometimes that won't wake it from its coma either.
I'm wondering if there is a way to stop and restart the hald-addon-storage process before and after each suspend or hibernate automatically.
