12 I been reading this thread hoping I could help but turned out, you
13 helped me. I ran into this and been working on it off and on since
14 yesterday, in between hunting and such. Anyway, for anyone else running
15 into this, I have this in package.mask:
16
17 sys-fs/udev-init-scripts
18 >=virtual/udev-197
19 >=sys-fs/udisks-1.0.4-r4
20 >=sys-fs/udev-196-r1

22 Now one or more of those may not be needed but it works so I ain't
23 messing with it. I think it was the virtual that I was missing before.
24 My plan is still to switch to eudev tho.
