This bug seems to be due to the installer creating an entry in /etc/fstab for a CD-ROM drive when it shouldn't. After installing intrepid alpha 4 on my eeepc (which has no CD-ROM drive), /etc/fstab contains:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/sda1
UUID=64d3fc31-3548-4ad1-93be-772f2b20490d / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/sdb1 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0

After inserting an SD card, Gnome pops up an error window that says "Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'foo'". dmesg contains the following, like the earlier reports:

[ 1425.246342] sd 0:0:0:0: [sdb] 16007168 512-byte hardware sectors (8196 MB)

Deleting the entry for the non-existent CD-ROM drive from /etc/fstab and reinserting the SD card results in the card automatically mounting as it should with no errors.

Since this bug is caused by the install process somewhere, this bug should probably be reassigned away from hal (but I'm not sure which package should be added instead.)
