Names starting with S in these directories will start the corresponding
service if not already running, and names starting with a K will stop it
if currently running.

Kudzu is not a necessary part of the boot-up, unless you rely on it for
reconfiguring your hardware. Everything it does can be done in other
ways. Note that if you ever change to another runlevel, you may have the
same problem unless you also disable it there. Check runlevels 3 and 4
as well (rc3.d, rc4.d).
