Some updates on this topic. The solution that I proposed was bad then, and is now worse:
- it assumed that all CF cards report the same "CF Card" string, which is not the case.
- it doesn't work on Wheezy - apparently, KDE no longer uses hal.

New proposed solution:
- create /etc/udev/rules.d/99-pciehp.rules with the following content:
DEVPATH=="/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.4/*/host*/target*/*/block/*", ENV{UDISKS_SYSTEM_INTERNAL}="0"
The line must be updated based on your specific computer. Helpful command:
  find /sys/devices/ -name sdb
assuming the card is assigned /dev/sdb.
Apply with
  udevadm control --reload-rules
The change to /etc/modules isn't required anymore.

The present bug may need to be reassigned to a different package, now that the problem and the solution
seems to be independent of HAL.

Thanks,
