After installing the full RH61 distr. and rebooting I noticed repeating messages in 'dmesg' stating there had been a disk change on ide1. Killing the magicdev process solved the problem. Removing kudzu from the rc.3 rc.4 and rc.5 trees solves the problem too. Messages in DMESG get repeated once every 30 or so seconds approximatly. Behavior is consistent with that of a friend of mine who runs RH61 as well and confirmed this phenomena on his machine. My machine is a Dell Dimension XPS T450 (PIII 450) with 1 25 gig HDD on the first IDE and a Toshiba DVD-rom + SONY CDRW 100 on the second IDE.
It's in magicdev; kudzu doesn't actually run as a daemon.
