Well right --- hald polls the card reader for media change too.

I now noticed that the two lines
sd *:0:0:0: rpm_resume flags 0x4
sd *:0:0:0: rpm_resume returns 1
are logged once for each sd device (i.e. those with fixed media too)
at the startup of hald. Is this expected?

Note, I have not seen anything of the sort on another PC which runs
2.3.37-rc6 with the same PM debug options. The differences are that
the other PC is an Intel 945GM based one with x86-32 kernel and 32bit
Gentoo userland, whereas the PC with log spam is an AMD RS780 based one
with x86-64 kernel and 64bit Gentoo userland. Both got hal 0.5.14-r2.
