Kudzu clobbers the serial ports in some notebook computers. I found
both my Cardbus modem and external modems attached to the rear serial
port to be useless after a kudzu probe. They were reported by minicom
to be 'online' even after a forced hangup.
As to why you are getting segfaults when trying to run kudzu from the
command line, how did you disable it? If I run it on my DEC Hinote
VP765 from the command line with '/usr/sbin/kudzu -s' it works fine. I
don't see the need for it though and have disabled it by changing the
links in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d and /etc/rc.d/rc5.d to be named
K95kudzu. Either linuxconf or tksysv can make this change for you.
