James, I tried renaming S05kudzu as suggested. This did allow the system to
boot (with the new kernel), but it failed to recognize the mouse. By the by,
I am able to boot successfully with the original kernel before and after the
change of name. Thanks anyway for the advise. Have to say I am impressed
with the list and the knowledge you guys have of the system.

Maybe booting without the options "rhgb quiet" would give you a helpful
error message.
JIC you don't know how to do this, highlight the new kernel in the menu.
press a for append, and backspace out the rhgb quiet part. then press b
to boot.
Tried that. Seems to hangs while looking for new hardware.
It appears that kudzu is hanging on a system scan and you can disable this
on bootup. Type in the following commands. The <> entry means to type in
the information requested without the <> characters. I make the assumption
that you are booting into either Gnome or KDE. If you are booting up into
a different init (1,2 or 3) then change the /etc/rc.d/rc5.d to the
appropriate init value (rc1.d, rc2.d or rc3.d). These commands should be
entered from a terminal screen (Ctrl+Alt+F1)
Login: root
<Enter root's password>
cd /etc/rc.d/rc5.d
mv S05kudzu X05kudzu
exit
If you cannot boot up your system, this should be done from the rescue or
install CD #1 by booting into rescue mode. Mount your filesystem to
/mnt/sysimage and the cd command will change to cd
/mnt/sysimage/etc/rc.d/rc5.d
Hope this helps resolve your problem.
