Description:   Opened: 2003-06-24 04:51 0000 
in the new baselayout, /etc/modules.autoload is a symlink to
/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4
When emerging the new baselayout, my /etc/modules.autoload was automatically
overwritten and no backup was made, causing my computer to boot incorrectly.

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:



Expected Results:  
made a backup of /etc/modules.autoload

------- Comment #1 From Adam Mercer 2003-06-24 13:18:22 0000 ------- 
I updated to 1.8.6.8-r1 from 1.8.5.x yesterday an my modules.autoload was
backed up and given as an option to update after I ran etc-update

------- Comment #2 From Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) 2003-06-30 14:20:01 0000 ------- 
This is the code for modules.autoload:

-------------------------------------------------
        if [ -f ${ROOT}/etc/modules.autoload -a ! -d ${ROOT}/etc/modules.autoload.d ]
        then
                mkdir -p ${ROOT}/etc/modules.autoload.d
                mv -f ${ROOT}/etc/modules.autoload \
                        ${ROOT}/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4
                ln -snf modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4 ${ROOT}/etc/modules.autoload
        fi
-------------------------------------------------

Meaning your modules.autoload should have existed as
/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4, meaning that the only
possible conclusion is that you did not run etc-update to
update /etc/init.d/modules.
