udev-181 is being unmasked on 2012-03-19. |

This news item is to inform you that once you upgrade to a version of |
| 20 |
udev >=181, if you have /usr on a separate partition, you must boot your |
| 21 |
system with an initramfs which pre-mounts /usr. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
An initramfs which does this is created by |
| 24 |
>=sys-kernel/genkernel-3.4.25.1 or |
| 25 |
>=sys-kernel/dracut-017-r1. If you do not want to use these tools, be |
| 26 |
sure any initramfs you create pre-mounts /usr. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Also, if you are using OpenRC, you must upgrade to >= openrc-0.9.9. |

For more information on why this has been done, see the following URL: |

| 32 |
|
| 33 |
You can read that systemd is *THE* problem, not udev, and that until the |
| 34 |
primma donnas fubared udev by jamming systemd into it, There Was No Such |
| 35 |
Problem (TM). |
| 36 |
|

And that explains where the train jumped the track... |
