Raising severity as this completely breaks HAL on affected machines.
Attached is a patch against 0.5.12~git20090406.46dc48-1 that fixes the
segfault for me.
"hal_device_property_get_string (parent, "storage.drive_type")" returns
NULL for these partitioned md-devices, which is passed to strcmp() and
causes the segfault.
NOTE: I don't know whether the actual bug is that parent points to the
wrong place, but this atleast gets HAL working again.
There are already similar reports in Ubuntu and upstream bugzilla:
