Try booting in single-user mode (in the grub menu, press "a" and add "
1" to the end of the kernel line, then boot up). You should get logged
in as root. Enter "chkconfig kudzu off" to turn off kudzu. Then reboot
and see if you get any further. I suspect that you may have bigger
problems if your root login isn't working though.

I've seen this error also with development and others have mentioned it
on the list. I got this prompt when manually running kudzu. It asks for
root password in a loop but continues after not accepting the password
through about three loops.
There is probably a bug report filed for this bug. It acts like gdm does
when it tries to start without a config file for X. I guess it is a gdm
error of some kind.
root password works correctly for other aspects of the computer. Selinux
problem maybe?
