I changed my grub boot options to add "vga=0x323" to them to resolve some issues with corrupted display during startup/shutdown on my laptop.

The next time I booted the system up, I got a warning over the login screen saying

Xfce Power Manager

HAL Daemon not running

The keyboard and mouse are unresponsive. After a minute or so, they start to work and the system functions as normal.

How can I solve this?

So apparently this problem is in some way related to the CD drive. If you have a CD in the drive then try removing it. I have no idea why this would make any difference, but it works for me, no CD, no error. Obviously this isn't a real fix, but it's an easy work around until the real problem is found and fixed.

A system update, about two weeks after posting this question, solved the issue.
