10 udev-181 is being unmasked on 2012-03-19.
11
12 This news item is to inform you that once you upgrade to a version of
13 udev >=181, if you have /usr on a separate partition, you must boot your
14 system with an initramfs which pre-mounts /usr.
15
16 An initramfs which does this is created by
17 >=sys-kernel/genkernel-3.4.25.1 or
18 >=sys-kernel/dracut-017-r1. If you do not want to use these tools, be
19 sure any initramfs you create pre-mounts /usr.
20
21 Also, if you are using OpenRC, you must upgrade to >= openrc-0.9.9.
