I had the same problem when I tried the 2.6 development kernel on a few 
of my servers. kudzu will try to delete eth0 and create an eth1, even 
though the system claims that it has an eth0 and not an eth1. (In my 
case it tried to delete eth0 and eth1 and create eth2 and eth3).

I ignored the problem by turning off kudzu, but never figured out what 
else to update such that kudzu would not do this.
