new kernel 2.6.6-1.427 - stops on probing new hardware

[Massimo]

as proposed by automatic uptodate service, i installed new kernel, but 
when i reboot and from grup select new kernel, pc writes "probing new 
hardware" and it stops when it loads KUDZU. if i reboot and select "I" 
(interactive mode) then i don't start KUDZU service then all it's ok and 
i can login to system.
With old kernel 2.6.5-1.358 it was all ok and KUDZu worked well.

i have i asus p4pe matherboard and a promise ultra 133 dma controller.

I'd like detailed informations cause i am not a linux expert.

Sorry for my english

The same happened to me, but my box is A7N8X Deluxe rev 2. No PCI controllers. 
But my HP OfficeJet 6110 (USB) printer is no longer detected.

I haven't finished ransacking the mailing lists yet, if I find something, I'll 
let you know.

Found something. If I edit /etc/sysconfig/kudzu and set "SAFE=yes", then I can 
boot into the old 2.6.5-1.358, also into the new 2.6.6-1.427, without 
completely disabling Kudzu, and without going into Interactive Bootup.

In the old kernel, there are no problems, all programs work as expected, and 
no data has been lost. (Except my printer is still missing, but I suspect 
that is another problem.) But. When in the new kernel, the Internet is 
realllll slooowwww, and all sounds are repeated at least five times.

Remember the old egg-in-frying-pan-this-is-your-brain-on-drugs commercial? The 
old kernel is your brain without drugs. The new kernel is your brain on 
drugs.

Still digging for more info, but at least I can fall back on the old one for 
now.
