Description Scott Cytacki 2004-09-10 08:36:43 UTC 
in the kmod.eclass, 
the function kmod_get_config_var should print y,m, or n 
however, if the KV_OUTPUT hasn't been set by the get_kernel_info function
then kmod_get_config_var prints a several lines of einfo.

this is because kmod_get_config_var calls get_kernel_info which has several einfo messages.  
returns a large string with the einfo messages of the get_kernel_info function.

Reproducible: Always

kmod is deprecated in favor of other eclasses. Marking WONTFIX.
