I haven't tracked this down fully, but the kudzu error seems related to
/lib/modules/(kernel-version)/modules.dep being reduced to a zero byte
file (I don't know that caused that).
With the zero byte modules.dep file kudzu segfaults.

That really doesn't make sense... nothing kudzu does would
cause ACPI modules to not get loaded.
