Go to /etc/rc.d/init.d and move the file "kudzu" to some unused directory. I create a directory in the init.d directory called "UNUSED" and I move _all_ the initscripts that I don't want to automatically run into that directory. kudzu is the "thing" that checks for new hardware... Another option is to build a new kernel yourself and disable all the USB support so that you won't ever see the problem again. Assuming you really don't want to have any USB devices connected, of course... USB is working fine btw. I have a sony laptop with a USB floppy and it works like a charm...
