Ted, I can boot into single user mode and I do get to the prompt. That happens before kudzu gets run and that's not the problem. What I really want to know is why updfstab isn't working with the 2.6.8 kernel and how to make it work. I would really like to run the current kernel in full multi-user mode. I was thinking of commenting out the offending line but after reading up on the functionality of updfstab, I though it to be a really bad idea. Any ideas?
