Public bug reported:
NB I am not sure I have labelled this with the right package, I just
searched for device-mapper and there was only one entry.
After using do-release-upgrade to upgrade my server from Feisty to
Gutsy, I was unable to use the 2.6.22-14-server kernel. The error I got
was a flood of messages:
Oct 22 21:06:02 dimen kernel: [ 246.191390] device-mapper: table: 254:4:
linear: dm-linear: Device lookup failed
Oct 22 21:06:02 dimen kernel: [ 246.191498] device-mapper: ioctl: error adding
target to table
I was able to boot and use 2.6.20-16-server and discovered that evms and
evms-curses had not been removed during the upgrade. Removing these two
packages allowed me to run the 2.6.22-14-server kernel.
In a sense there is no bug here, but then again there are two:
1. Why do 2.6.22-14-server and evms interact so badly?
2. Why didn't the upgrade remove the evms packages?
I have no idea what evms does for me, hopefully I won't miss it :-)
