Oh. I forgot to mention that.
Yes, I did an yum update after i upgraded and rebooted to the new kernel without
executing kudzu.

I recompiled the kernel (2.6.3-2.1.253) with the 4K STACKS option disabled so
I can use the NVIDIA drivers without crashing X.
Rebooted and tried kudzu again with my custom kernel.
To my surprise it worked. Kudzu runs and detects a new keyboard.
A bit strange but it seems to work now.
