On a fresh install the hal and hotplug stuff causes this message, if
all
is working then you can ignore them.

If you do an online update there should be a patch that might get rid
of
the messages ( they have gone from here )

Well I did an online update, but it did not change anything. I still
get
this message. Everythings seems to work, but its a bit strange to me.
what
does this message exactly mean. I already got it on another machine.

Thanks!

It is to do with the way HAL ( Hardware Abstraction Layer ) and
related
"stuff" ( technical term interact with the subfs I think, I am on
shakey ground here a bit as I have disabled all that stuff ( hal and
dbus from in the runlevel editor ) and use the old way of mounting myUSB sticks and iPod.

Maybe someone with more knowledge about this part of the system can
help????

I do know that it is not a Suse specific thing though and as it is
only
an informational message you can ignore it.
