Ah, it seems your CD-ROM is just too slow. I uploaded a possible fix to my PPA (https://launchpad.net/~pitti/+archive)

   hal (0.5.11~rc2-1ubuntu9~ppa1) hardy; urgency=low

     * Add 03_increase_helper_timeout.patch: Increase helper timeout from 10 to
       20 seconds. Some CD-ROMs are too slow to do all the detection in 10
       seconds. (LP: #218834)

Can you please add this to /etc/apt/sources.list:

  deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pitti/ubuntu hardy main

and tell me if it works any better? If not, can you please do the hal debugging exercise again, with this version? Thank you!
