Re problem #2 below, here's what worked for me (on my Vaio PCG-FX190):
- boot in interactive mode
- Do NOT start kudzu
- Continue the boot sequence (side note: sendmail hung on me during one of my boots, but I'm not sure if that was a related problem)
- Login as root and remove kudzu from your runlevel 5 services.

This got me up and running, although I'm still working on getting my laptop fully configured.

I can't explain why it works, but maybe one of the other gurus on the list can.
Hope this helps.

Recently got a friend interested in Linux. I was helping him install RedHat 8.0. It worked fine. But.

1.) The boot disk the installation made fails to work correctly.
2.)It locks up during system start-up when it gets to bringing up the loopback interface. I spent 30 second to a minute waiting for it to do it before I decided it wasn't gunna do it.
