Ok, so I have been debugging this and I have more to add....

With the latest current kernel (2.6.20.14) under normal boot up, this happens. So I tried starting it up in rescue mode and played around with some of the services to see which one was the culprit. The 2 services (start up scripts) that seem to effect it is a combination of acpid and dbus init scripts.

If you dont start either one, then the problem goes away.
if you start one and not the other, the problem goes away
If you start both, the problem comes back, but only if acpid is started before the dbus init script (dbus before acpid doesn't cause the bug to appear)

Also, acpid takes a very long time to start. the dbus init script then takes a long time to start on the hald portion. But, if the dbus script is started before the acpid script, then it starts normaly, and it doesn't pause on starting hald.

I'm not sure where the bug lies in acpid or the dbus init scripts, but if you reverse the start order, the problem goes away.
