An easier way is to run system-config-services as root. De-select Kudzu
(temporarily) and save. Reboot and see if that allows you to boot up.

Have you used your floppy drive previously on this system?  If so, have
you since disabled the controller in the BIOS? If your drive is disabled
or non-existent, add the following line to /etc/modprobe.conf:

install floppy /bin/true

This will suppress any errors about your floppy drive not being there.

Perhaps.. Not enough info.

[wayne at FC2 wayne]$ man kudzu

Or for just a one line description try:

[wayne at FC2 wayne]$ whatis kudzu

Or when all else fails:
