Rep:
To make the changes since the default will not boot will require a boot disk or use the Install CD and when it comes up enter ' linux rescue ' to enter rescue mode off the CD. Let it mount the harddrive partitions. Now this I am not sure will work this way. Using the command chkconfig to disable the kudzu tool.
chkconfig --level 345 kudzu off
Now if that command does not work under the rescue mode then to manually do what it does is this. Goto /mnt/sysimage/etc/rc3.d
cd /mnt/sysimage/etc/rc3.d
Now rename the S**kudzu to K95kudzu
mv S**kudzu K95kudzu
Replace ** with the real number it has in the place.
Must do the same in /etc/sysimage/etc/rc4.d and rc5.d as well.
