45 No kmod on my system. Looks like collisions between the two packages.
46
47 c2stable ~ # eix -I kmod
48 No matches found.
49 c2stable ~ #
50
51 To me it looks safe to emerge -C kmod and then emerge
52 module-init-tools if you want to go that way. I'd do an equery files
53 kmod and carefully study what you're getting with that package, or
54 else push a bug request up to that package maintainer for providing a
55 modprobe that's not 100% compatible.

57 Good luck,
