Although I had this problem before I've upgraded, I did that because I
thought it might solve my problem.

No error reported, and after couple of reboots it doesn't complain on
boot about dbus starting.
Starting/restarting of hal also gives me no error, but it still doesn't
show in system monitor that hal is running (should it show it?) and
fails to start gnome-volume-manager with this error:

libhal.c 644 : Error connecting to system bus: Failed to connect to
socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: Input/output error

** (gnome-volume-manager:5055): WARNING **: manager.c/900: failed to
initialize HAL!
