John:
Are you booting into a graphical console or a text console? Do you know
for sure?
In addition to disabling Kudzu, you should make sure that you're booting
into a text mode, and not a graphical mode. At least I don't believe
brltty yet supports X!
After the machine boots, you can do Alt+Control+F1 to get to a text mode
login prompt.
The runlevel controls which mode you get. It is set in /etc/inittab. In
that file there is a line like this:
id:3:initdefault:
If it says :5:, you might want to edit the file to change the value to :3:
PS: chkconfig is a nice little utility for managing what is and isn't
launched by the boot process for any particular run level. You can get a
complete printout on what the settings are by doing:
chkconfig --list
