I was seeing the same error every time on startup after I upgraded to Gutsy tribe 5, plus a few extra things like the floppy drive wasn't being picked up. I tried playing around with the boot process order, and found that having the dbus daemon launch before hald made the warning disappear, but don't know nearly enough to know if this will have any unwanted repercussions. So if you want to get rid of the problem, use update-rc.d to change to boot process order, but use this at your own risk...
