Well, in package.use, it has some output of emerge that said it needed. Here is a snippet: # required by sys-fs/lvm2-2.02.109[static] # required by @selected # required by @world (argument) #=sys-apps/util-linux-2.24.1-r3 static-libs # required by virtual/udev-208-r2 # required by @selected # required by @world (argument) #virtual/libudev static-libs # required by virtual/udev-208-r2[gudev] # required by @selected # required by @world (argument) #virtual/libgudev static-libs There's a couple more but you get the idea. I don't use genkernel, tried it but never got a working kernel from it so I do them by hand. Everything built OK with no more complaining so I guess whatever it is has changed. Still weird tho. Dale :-) :-)
