You mean regardless of if desktop is started up? In that case, it sounds like System->Preferences->Removable Drives and Media settings need changing to *not* mount when hot-plugged.
At the risk of repeating myself: this is a fixed hard drive; it is NOT a removable drive nor a removable media drive. That is why this issue is so puzzling to me....
Repeating is not an issue. Long threads promote forgetfulness. But I didn't forget. I'm just hazarding a guess that whatever the root cause is, changing those settings might get rid of the extra icon. That, in turn, gives a hint that might be useful. If it doesn't fix it, it also provides some help by eliminating some things... I hope.
I'm still hoping that the scan of the dmesg or messages log, in conjunction with a look a udev stuff might reveal the cause.
The settings suggestion was just a stab at getting rid of the icon, which was your stated goal.
I wonder if anyone can duplicate the problem by creating a partition and having it mounted in fstab by volume label and see if it appears twice.
If you list it in fstab by /dev/sdXX and HAL announces it as /dev/sdXX then it will only appear once, but if it is listed in fstab as LABEL=XXXX and HAL announces it as /dev/sdXX then it would be listed as twice.
I believe /boot, /, LABEL=boot and LABEL=root, are typically ignored either in Gnome or HAL or both, so those won't dup.
