JD, It's possible that system-config-services is not working correctly. As an alternative, use chkconfig to look at the default startup status for each of those services: # chkconfig --list | grep akmods akmods 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off If you really want to disable akmods at startup: # chkconfig akmods off # service akmods stop Repeat for the other services.
