Kudzu tries to make the process of Plug-n-play easier for users by checking during every boot to see if new hardware is added to the system between boots.
This sometimes is a help for people who are not comfortable configuring hardware on Linux. As to the problem of segmentation faults within kudzu, this might indicate a problem with either the executable or a hardware problem that gets triggered by running kudzu. Assuming this did not happen earlier and started happening only recently, I would suggest you check if your memory (RAM) is good. Use something like memtest86 to check RAM. If the executable is corrupted, you might want to replace it from the Installation CD. Other than that, kudzu does not more AFAIK. -Naren On Wed, 16 Jan 2002, USM Bish wrote: > On Tue, Jan 15, 2002 at 07:42:01AM -0800, Pravin Gupte wrote: > > While Linux boots and while checking for New Hardware, > > it gives the following error message: > > > > /etc/rc.d/init.d/kudzu: line 78 : 950 > > Segmentation fault (core dumped) > > /usr/sbin/kudzu $KUDZU_ARGS -t 30 > > > > and the service is FAILED > > > [snipped] > > > > Hence it does not detect any new hardware during > > booting > > > > please help mw how to solve the same > > > ---end quoted text--- > > Is there really a problem ?
