Linux Sparc & Sun Disklabel Issue

[Doug Goldstein]

So currently our Linux Sparc people are experiencing issues with HAL
0.5.9 on their sparc machines. It looks to me like the prober can't
handle Sun disklabels at all. It's trying to read weird stuff like
/sys/block/hda/hda1/range when only /sys/block/hda/range is valid.

Since it was dying and HAL is trying to read the response back but
that's an unchecked NULL pointer which results in a D-Bus assert()
killing us, you have to apply the patch I mentioned in "[PATCH] HAL
runner doesn't handle D-Bus disconnect properly" to be able to get this
output.

I'm hoping some of our Sun guys can peek at this and confirm if it's an
issue with HAL processing Sun disklabels.
