Hi,

I got the error messages

when trying to start pommed. A bit of googling revealed that the kernel option CONFIG_DMIID is missing.

Please include a check to the ebuild.

Cheers,
Nico

Reproducible: Always

Thanks for reporting your discovered solution; a message noting the kernel option sounds like a good suggestion. Assigning to pommed maintainer.
