Again, I had to hardware reboot because of another hang on "Stopping the 
HAL daemon:". From today's kernel oops:

The "Call Trace" and "Code" sections look remarkably similar to those from 
my previous kernel oops, as do all the lines up to the contents of the 
e[abcd]x registers. In fact, they look just like the ones reported from 
scyther.mit.edu and dodecahedron.mit.edu when they had kernel oopses.
