Thanks, big-time, to both Calvin M and Tim P for their

Turns out that hald got amnesia at least, if not a more serious brain disease,
and kept dying/respawning/quitting.
Tim's suggestion was to purge hal and his friends and start over, which worked:
1. Use dpkg --purge --force-all to remove all hal related packages (i.e.
all packages with hal in their name; use dpkg -l | grep hal to find them)
That list on my system was:
hal
hal-info
hal-trinity
libhal-storage1
libhal1
2. apt-get update
3. apt-get -f install
4. Reboot
And, thanks to you, too!
After a recent 'normal' 10.04 LS update/upgrade, my `hald` was
seg-faulting on this netbook (Trinity 3.5.11). I could not mount SD
cards, nor was kpowersave functioning.
I did the steps laid out above and VIOLA!, I'm good again.
(Here, hal-kde3 was involved, too.)
Again, Thank you.
