The root of the problem was a future timestamp of the fdi-cache:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1039604 2024-07-20 02:45 fdi-cache

after deleting it, everything works fine again. The future time probably
came from a PM_TRACE, which I have activated, since the S2Mem is f*ing
instable since intrepid ... nevertheless, I regard this behavior as a
bug in hal. It is or has been discussed there for Debian and Ubuntu, so
there should:

http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.bugs.dist/browse_thread/thread/83d30ea7b629e4a4

and here you find a patch (which is secure, as it deletes the fdi-cache
on every hal-start, but increases boot-time):
