9 Just posted to -devel, the news item regarding the unmasking of udev-181:
10
11 "This news item is to inform you that once you upgrade to a version of
12 udev >=181, if you have /usr on a separate partition, you must boot your
13 system with an initramfs which pre-mounts /usr.
14
15 "An initramfs which does this is created by >=sys-kernel/genkernel-3.4.25 or
16 >=sys-kernel/dracut-017-r1. If you do not want to use these tools, be
17 sure any initramfs you create pre-mounts /usr.
18
19 "Also, if you are using OpenRC, you must upgrade to >= openrc-0.9.9.
20
21 For more information on why this has been done, see the following url:
22 http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/separate-usr-is-broken"
23
24 The news item is being discussed, but something similar will be
25 submitted as news item for every Gentoo user.
26
27 Regards.
