Boot failure after update

[Chris Birchenhall]

James, I tried renaming S05kudzu as suggested. This did allow the system to 
boot (with the new kernel), but it failed to recognize the mouse. By the by, 
I am able to boot successfully with the original kernel before and after the 
change of name. Thanks anyway for the advise. Have to say I am impressed 
with the list and the knowledge you guys have of the system.
