Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-volume-
When restarting hal (e. g. during an upgrade), there apparently is some automounting magic triggered, which causes the "access to this internal disk is restricted" gksudo prompt. This should not happen for internal disks.

Let's fix this with a hal policy (disabling automounting of fixed drives). It is not done on session startup anyway (since that disables the gnome-mount UI which would ask for authentication), and automouting internal drives is sometimes undesirable or even dangerous.
