Every time I boot into Linux my computer goes into a Kudsu Hardware
Discovery....It sits there for 30 seconds and then it fails,...and then,
the rest of the boot process is OK...It just delays the boot time 30
seconds...WHY? can I eliminate this step? How?

Kudzu is RH's attempt at Plug'n'Play (of a sort). Personally, I hate that
kind of automation, and I always turn it off. Using RH's chkconfig tool:

/sbin/chkconfig --level 345 kudzu off

or, by hand:

cd /etc/rc.d/rc?.d (where ? is 3, 4, or 5)
mv S??kudzu K??kudzu (where ?? is whatever it is)

Is that with mandrake? You should be able to disable that bug by running
the configuration program from the console. I don't remember the name of
the program to call, check the book that came with your distribution.

Check the Startup Services menu in DrakConf, and uncheck the box for kudzu.
