Editing out HWADDR should fix your problem. Another possible solution is to check that the value in the HWADDR line in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX is the same as listed in the /etc/sysconfig/hwconf for the corresponding network interface. Also make sure that the files /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-ethX and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 are hard links to the same file. You can regenerate the content of the /etc/sysconfig/hwconf by removing it and running kudzu again.
