Kudzu must be in the startup sequence.  To verify:

[root@byte root]# chkconfig --list | grep -i kudzu
kudzu           0:off   1:off   2:off   3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off

The "3:on" means that the system will start kudzu when it reaches
runlevel 3.

If you know you haven't added any new hardware, turn off kudzu:

[root@byte root]# chkconfig kudzu off

And again you can verify with:

[root@byte root]# chkconfig --list | grep -i kudzu
kudzu           0:off   1:off   2:off   3:off   4:off   5:off   6:off

HTH.
