This bug was fixed in the package udisks - 1.0.1-1ubuntu1

---------------
udisks (1.0.1-1ubuntu1) lucid-proposed; urgency=low

  * Add 00git-fix-floppy-probing-hangs.patch: A lot of modern machines do not
    have a floppy drive any more, but still have a floppy controller somewhere
    (or at least the BIOS pretends to). Trying to open(/dev/fd0) on these
    machines causes long hangs, which lead to long desktop startup times.
    To fix this, avoid probing floppies for media in update_info().
    nautilus/gvfs do not expect the media state to be correct for floppies
    anyway. (LP: #539515)
