1	Hello,
2
3	Portage recently told me this:
4
5	* You need to add kmod-static-nodes to the sysinit runlevel for
6	* kernel modules to have required static nodes!
7	* Run this command:
8	* rc-update add kmod-static-nodes sysinit
9
10	Will you please help me parse this statement?
11
12	Interpretation A:
13	* You need to add kmod-static-nodes to the sysinit runlevel
14
15	Interpretation B:
16	* If your kernel modules require static nodes, then you need to add
17	* kmod-static-nodes to the sysinit runlevel
18
19	Q1: Is it A or B (or C...)?
20
21	Q2: If it's B, then how do I determine whether or not my kernel
22	modules require static nodes?
23
24	Thank you,
25
