"eselect news read" is yore freeeend ;) 2012-03-16-udev-181-unmasking Title udev-181 unmasking Author William Hubbs Posted 2012-03-16 Revision 1 udev-181 is being unmasked on 2012-03-19. This news item is to inform you that once you upgrade to a version of udev >=181, if you have /usr on a separate partition, you must boot your system with an initramfs which pre-mounts /usr. An initramfs which does this is created by >=sys-kernel/genkernel-3.4.25.1 or >=sys-kernel/dracut-017-r1. If you do not want to use these tools, be sure any initramfs you create pre-mounts /usr. Also, if you are using OpenRC, you must upgrade to >= openrc-0.9.9. For more information on why this has been done, see the following URL: http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/separate-usr-is-broken You can read that systemd is *THE* problem, not udev, and that until the primma donnas fubared udev by jamming systemd into it, There Was No Such Problem (TM). And that explains where the train jumped the track... -- Happy Penguin Computers >') 126 Fenco Drive ( \ Tupelo, MS 38801 ^^ support@happypenguincomputers.com 662-269-2706 662-205-6424 http://happypenguincomputers.com/ Don't top-post: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_post#Top-posting
