Yeah, I think it's an easy fix either in openrc or in an initscript |
| 22 |
somewhere. I changed nothing except my kernel (was missing devtmpfs -- it's |
| 23 |
not under Filesystems!), uninstalled module-init-tools, and installed kmod + |
| 24 |
udev-181. Then rolled back the snapshot once I had the results. |

See the attached PNG for the boot output I was able to grab before something |
| 27 |
clears the screen. There was a few extra lines after this, but I'm not that |
| 28 |
fast on the screencap button. |
