Step 1) |
| 14 |
keyword sys-fs/eudev-1_beta2-r2 |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Step 2) |
| 17 |
ensure that "kmod" and "openrc" and "-modutils" USE flags are set (at |
| 18 |
least for sys-fs/eudev). "tools" flag needs to be set for sys-apps/kmod |
| 19 |
(usually a system default) |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Step 3) |
| 22 |
unmerge udev sys-apps/modutils |
| 23 |
(You *MUST* specify "sys-apps/modutils" to avoid confusion with |
| 24 |
"virtual/modutils") |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Step 4) |
| 27 |
emerge eudev |
| 28 |
(should pull in kmod) |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Step 5) |
| 31 |
The following message shows up in elog. Do as it says... |
