Forgotten promise!

Worth to mention:
Debian~unstable has just changed their module-init-tools to kmod-6

> Forgotten promise!

I had a personal issue that was quite urgent and I had to handle that situation. Please refrain from posting comments like this without knowing the situation.

@William Hubbs, please excuse me!

Regarding the $portdir/profiles/Changelog:

"09 Jan 2012; William Hubbs <williamh@gentoo.org> package.mask:
  add sys-apps/kmod to the udev mask"

I have tested amd64 using

sys-fs/udev-181
sys-fs/udev-init-scripts-8
sys-kernel/dracut-017-r1
sys-apps/kmod-6

works! 
Though not tested dracut usrmount feature - not having an extra /usr partition.
Comment 6 William Hubbs gentoo-dev 2012-03-09 23:46:14 UTC 
kmod-6 is in the tree.
