    It appears that kudzu is hanging on a system scan and you can disable
    this on bootup. Type in the following commands. The <> entry means to
    type in the information requested without the <> characters. I make the
    assumption that you are booting into either Gnome or KDE. If you are
    booting up into a different init (1,2 or 3) then change the
    /etc/rc.d/rc5.d to the appropriate init value (rc1.d, rc2.d or rc3.d).
    These commands should be entered from a terminal screen (Ctrl+Alt+F1)

    Login: root
    <Enter root's password>
    cd /etc/rc.d/rc5.d
    mv S05kudzu X05kudzu
    exit

    If you cannot boot up your system, this should be done from the rescue
    or install CD #1 by booting into rescue mode. Mount your filesystem to
    /mnt/sysimage and the cd command will change to cd
    /mnt/sysimage/etc/rc.d/rc5.d

    Hope this helps resolve your problem.
