kudzu does some weird stuff with the /etc/fstab file. 

I've been suprised the kudzu does a pretty good job of
hardware detection, but I don't like what it does to 
the /etc/fstab file. 

If you remove the ,kudzu entry from the /etc/fstab 
entry I think that it will leave your /etc/fstab file 
alone and you'll be ok.
