I m running Gentoo, so I didnt do anything special with the configure.

Sorry that wasnt very clear was it. What I meant was that when I plug 
the camera in (the problematic device), HAL stops spewing out messages here:

12:29:26.242 [I] hald_dbus.c:3007: 5123: Got a connection
12:29:26.242 [I] hald_dbus.c:3008: dbus_connection_get_is_connected = 1

But with say a Pen Drive it continues to spew out stuff and enventually 
ends here:

14:17:21.964 [I] blockdev.c:300: entering; timed_out=0, return_code=0
14:17:21.964 [I] blockdev.c:180: Update mount point for

retry to find.

14:17:22.269 [I] hald.c:89: Added device to GDL; 
udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_part_1_size_131072000

Hopefully I added enough there to make sense, I didnt want to make 
things difficult by adding every single line from the HAL output.
