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,
