This should be fixed in this Feisty version:

 hal (0.5.8.1-4ubuntu12) feisty; urgency=low
 .
   * Add debian/patches/66-NULL-fstype-crash.patch: Do not crash on NULL
     volume.fstypes, and assing some fallback values to them. Patch from Danny
     Kukawa in FD#10429. (LP: #87800)
   * debian/patches/24_ignored_volumes.patch: Ignore partitions which are
     mounted by default in /etc/fstab only when they are not currently mounted
     (this could happen on damaged partitions, failed fsck, etc., and
     inexperienced users should not randomly mount those.). Since this would
     make system partitions visible, limit the visible ones to /media/ again,
     as in previous Ubuntu releases. (LP: #73227)
   * Add debian/10-storage-policy.fdi: Resurrect 'Eject all USB and Firewire
     storage devices', just as in previous Ubuntu releases. (LP: #97366)
   * Add debian/patches/67-fix-probe-volume.patch: Attempt to fix scrambled
     labels. Taken from FD#10362, thanks to Danny Kukawa. (LP: #69914)

Can you please check out a live CD (from tomorrow on) whether you still get this crash? Apparently you inserted an USB Stick, a CD-ROM, or a new hard disk partition with an empty or broken label, and that caused this hal crash.
