First thing to do on Fedora is go into the <garnome
prefix>/etc/dbus-1/system.conf file and change the user from dbus to
messagebus.  Next you need to stop the current dbus
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/messagebus stop"  and start the other one "<garnome
prefix>/etc/rc.d/init.d/messagebus start".  After that start hal
"<garnome prefix>/etc/rc.d/init.d/haldaemon start".  Make sure you do
all this as root.  That should get you up and running.  If you want dbus
and hal to start every time just symlink their init scripts to
/etc/rc.d/init.d/ and add hal to your runlevel.

Note that FC3 will ship with Gnome 2.8 and the latest releases of dbus
and hal.
