I am using Sarge on a x86 (amd) and the 2.6.3-1-386 kernel. When I boot my kernel I get some errors like this (copied from dmesg)
device-mapper: 4.0.0-ioctl (2003-06-04) initialised: [EMAIL PROTECTED] device-mapper: dm-linear: Device lookup failed device-mapper: error adding target to table device-mapper: dm-linear: Device lookup failed device-mapper: error adding target to table Should I worry about this? Can I provide useful data material? According to google this is an serious error. Someone got the following answer on the Linux-lwm list: This is a serious error, it means that device mapper was asked to instance a linear mapping across a non-existent device. Could you turn on verbose logging in the LVM2 tools, and try and find out which LV is failing to activate please ? https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-lvm/2004-March/msg00042.html However I guess that there is no easy route to lvm2 from me (whatever lvm2 is :) Though LVM2 is currently stable, it is not yet recommended for production use. It is backwards-compatible with LVM1 (lvm10), and requires Linux kernel 2.4. http://packages.debian.org/testing/admin/lvm2 Thanks in advance for any hints Niels PS: At the moment my alsa, and bootlogd do not work. Furthermore I cannot use any xfree-xserver with a higher that is newer than the one from stable. But all these problems are probably unrelated to the kernel messages, and rather a sign that I have messed up something else :) -- Niels L Ellegaard http://dirac.ruc.dk/~gnalle/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
