    just to make sure - could try to run kudzu manually after bootup and
    observe what happens? Do you have a udev based system? I recently
    corrupted my udev database via a crash and had to remove the
    /dev/.udev.tdb file and had to regenerate it via 'udevstart'. (be
    careful doing that though, it might mess up your system.) The symtoms
    were a hung kudzu - while in reality it 'hung' because udev and udevinfo
    processes looped in userspace forever. Weirdly, the stock Fedora kernel
    didnt hang in this same phase, so there might still be a
    PREEMPT_REALTIME bug here.
