   An update that has two recommended fixes can now be
   installed.

Description:


   This update for hal provides the following fixes and
   enhancements:

   * Do not install a signal handler on the forked hal
   daemon before being able to properly handle it.
   * Allow disabling storage device probing by setting
   HALD_IGNORE_STORAGE to "yes" in /etc/sysconfig/hal.
   * Do not kill the child when it takes too long to probe
   devices, as it will only shutdown hald after the probe is
   complete.
