I have a Motorola SB4200 USB cable modem, and I have to reboot my
system four or five times until Fedora Core 1 recognizes it fine and
works fine.

do you have kudzu installed?
# rpm -V kudzu

Hello, thanks for your answer, I have a standard desktop installation,
 I added the kernel source and the kernel doc, but I haven't
recompiled it.
rpm -V kudzu, doesn't display any message (extracted from "man kudzu":)

       The general form of an rpm verify command is

        rpm {-V|--verify} [select-options] [verify-options]

        Verifying  a  package compares information about the installed
files in
       the package with information about the files  taken  from  the
 package
       metadata  stored  in  the  rpm database.  Among other things,
verifying
       compares the size, MD5 sum, permissions, type, owner and group
of  each
       file.   Any discrepencies are displayed.  Files that were not
installed
       from the package, for example, documentation files excluded on
 instal-
       lation using the "--excludedocs" option, will be silently ignored.

rpm -q kudzu displays

kudzu-1.1.36-1

	I've upgraded to kudzu-1.1.40, with the same problem, so I downgraded
it to kudzu-1.1.36-1
	again: rpm -e kudzu; rpm -ivh kudzu(...) from the CD (md5sum -
correct, linux mediacheck 		- correct).

I've also tried to remove it from the startup services, but my eth0
device wasn't detected, so I've configured it as a service again, and
now is running after configuring local disks (?) (sorry, english is
not my native language... and I don't know if it should be run before
or after configuring the hd(s)). "Probing for new hardware" is
working, not fine, but is working... not at the first boots, but after
several reboots (CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE) (CTRL+ALT+DEL) works fine, I
don't know why.

kudzu should be installed, shouldn't be?

By the way, Motorola SB4200 USB cable madem emulates an eth device...

$ ls /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/*kudzu*

Thanks Harald
In /usr/lib/python2.3 there's only an empty directory called site-packages

But
ls /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/*kudzu*
/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/_kudzumodule.so
/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/kudzu.py
/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/kudzu.pyc

hmm... which version of python do you use?

$ rpm -q python

rpm -q python

python-2.2.3-7

please try this:

$ python -c "import kudzu;" && echo OK

I've done it, and OK appeared.
Before, sometimes appear this message at boot time:
Probing for new hardware /etc/rc5.d/S05 kudzu: line 97: 4515
Segmentation fault /usr/sbin/kudzu $KUDZU_ARGS -t 30

Now I get always this message:
Probing for new hardware /etc/rc5.d/S05 kudzu: line 97: 4520
Segmentation fault /usr/sbin/kudzu $KUDZU_ARGS -t 30

I removed kudzu as a service  :(    and I have to reboot several times
before my eth0 is recognized... again.

Ah!
Segmentation fault /usr/sbin/kudzu
That explains everything :)

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 106332 ***

Please try the kudzu-1.1.36.1-1 packages at:
 http://people.redhat.com/notting/kudzu/

These may resolve some of your issues.

Thank you very much Harald, kudzu works fine now, but I had to reboot
three times before my eth0 is recognized, like when I avoid using
kudzu as a service...
