On my desktop workstation (Asus A7V8X mb, Athlon XP 2500 CPU), kudzu freezes the system when it runs at startup with kernel 2.6.5-1.315. This is a hard freeze, need to hit reset, ctrl-alt-del doesn't, keyboard lights don't respond to capslock, etc.
Anyone else seeing this?

Yes I had to disable Kudzu as well...last couple versions of Kudzu locked up my machine when booting 2.6.0 (old i know) and 2.6.5 so it doesn't appear that the latest kernel is to blame.
Proabably unrelated but I noticed some slab corruption occuring with selinux in use with 2.6.0, so anyone using latest fedora policy and selinux packages on an older 2.6 kernel might want to watch out. Without SeLinux the corruption didn't occur, but Kudzu still locked up the system. The slab corruption was occurring during startup near or at the time Kudzu was supposed to be loading. I don't have the slab corruption anymore with 2.6.5 although I had to disable SeLinux. Anyone else notice these problems anywhere?
Logs of OOPses are archived offline I'll have to dig them up, if need be.

I had this problem when I was running the nvidia kernel tainting driver for my xserver. It only happened when the fancy graphical boot manager was being used - it did not happen (even booting to gdm) if I turned of the fancy graphical boot manager.
See if the same is the case for you. If yes - then I'm guessing there is an issue with the graphical boot process and your video driver. If it's a kernel tainting video driver, RH/Fedora will not support it (as I found out in my bug report) - if it's an OSS video driver - then PLEASE report the bug, so that when it is fixed, I can send the details of how it was fixed in an OSS driver to nvidia so that maybe they can patch their css driver.

I do use the nVidia driver, but not graphical boot, and the driver isn't loaded until I start X manually, so I don't think that's it...

I can tell you there appears to be no video-related stuff going on here on my system at all when this happens. And its still happening BTW...
