I worked through the "what requires" RPM option to figure this out with 10.0, and it turned out that on a basic server install (text-only, plus a couple of utils, apache, and php) the only thing that needed hald was powersaved. In that particular application, I didn't want powersaved running anyway, so I just removed it, disabled hald, and everything has been running for months without issue.
Thanks Ian, that is exactly what I wanted to hear. And I have no need for powersaved either.
That said, I have no USB devices, no firewire devices, no iSCSI or other SAN, basically nothing fancy at all.
Pretty much the same here, although I might be looking at running a SAN over fibre.
Not sure if that holds true for 10.1, but that's my experience with 10.0. I would give it a good bit of QA before experimenting in a production environment, though...
Absolutely.
(Also, whatever you end up doing, pay attention to the system clock. What made me disable powersaved was clock skew related to freq scaling...there was some weirdness there in 9.3 and 10.0, don't know yet if it's gone in 10.1)
