Is device-mapper driver missing from kernel?
Failure to communicate with kernel device-mapper driver.
I'm not familiar with Mandrake at all, but it looks like the
device-mapper is neither compiled into your kernel or loaded as a
module. Try "modprobe dm-mod", which should load the module if it exists
on your system.
(I'd expect it to be built as a module on most distros' stock kernels --
if you've built your own kernel then you need to make sure that you have
included the device mapper either in the main kernel or as a module --
the option is under "Device drivers" -> "Multi-device support (RAID and
LVM)" -> "Device mapper support".)
Hope this helps,
Zak.
