> compile and install device mapper first Tried that earlier and it failed too - after reading the docs, wasn't certain if I had to do this, since 2.6.x has device-mapper in the kernel.... Anyway, everything succeeded now - the problem was with my kernel-headers. I'd been a twit and symlinked /usr/include/linux to /usr/src/linux-2.6.1/usr/include/linux and found Linus' post regarding this, before rectifying my mistake: http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0007.3/0587.html So I removed my symlink madness and re-installed the original kernel-headers package as per my original post and then successfully installed both device-mapper and LVM!
