As we explained on IRC, the message is misleading, HAL is dead and gone. There's no HAL in Fedora 16 at all, and it's not expected to be needed. Several of us have K3b running just fine, without HAL.

Found the solution.  I need to be a member of cdrom group.

That shouldn't really be needed, but if it works for you… I don't think anybody else has had this problem so far. Strange.
