Another solution would be to enter interactive mode at startup. Press "I" wenn the boot process says so and you can easily skip some usually started services. I still have the same problem here with kudzu hanging on boot. (IBM Thinkpad R50p). In my case it is the madwifi drivers. If I remove them everthing is fine. I am still searching. regards Henry >To solve this problem i booted in single mode and renamed the file >"kudzu". >Hoppe this helps someone later. > Regards, > Marc
