The short explanation: Those messages are generated by the kernel and
triggered by the continuous polling of hald for media. The correct fix would
be making the kernel less verbose - I don't know if anyone is working on that
at the moment.
There is very little you can do about it as it is - you can make sure to
configure newsyslog so that /var/log/messages and its backup copies don't
overflow your /var filesystem by editing /etc/newsyslog.conf and you can
configure syslogd to write messages you care about to separate logs so they
don't get lost too quickly in the kernel spam.
Cheers,
