I hesitated to file a bug, because my desktop is running mdev instead |
| 23 |
of udev (just fine thank, you), and it might not be supported. I've |
| 24 |
removed module-init-tools. I have virtual/modutils-0 and |
| 25 |
sys-apps/kmod-12-r1 installed. Here's what happens... |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
[d531][waltdnes][~] emerge -pv1 virtual/modutils |
| 28 |
|

These are the packages that would be merged, in order: |

|
| 31 |
Calculating dependencies... done! |
