Description aeriksson2 2017-05-17 12:15:01 UTC

Title says it all. The systemd ebuild (all versions) has an unqualified desire to run on a kernel with CONFIG_DMIID enabled. ARM (and I suspect most non-x86 hw) does not have DMI, and no kernel option to enable DMI.


The desire should be made arch dependent. 

On arm (rpi), systemd works fine without DMI

    sys-apps/systemd: rework pkg_pretend

    Move all kernel logic behind the MERGE_TYPE check.
    Only check DMIID on X86.
