Subject: [Bug 115616] Re: Device-mapper errors: dm-linear, lookup failed

It's explained at the beginning of the bug description. I updated it so
it is more explicit, but *please* always read carefully at least the
description if not the complete thread before asking for help. Thanks
for caring about that, though.

** Description changed:

- [This issue is fixed by removing evms]
+ [This issue is fixed by removing evms: just type "sudo apt-get remove
+ evms" in a console.]

  In gutsy the new 2.6.22-4-generic kernel produces the following error
  message repreatedly:

  May 19 10:10:16 richard-desktop kernel: [ 227.338011] device-mapper:
table: 254:1: linear: dm-linear: Device lookup failed
  May 19 10:10:16 richard-desktop kernel: [ 227.338017] device-mapper:
ioctl: error adding target to table

  This causes the disk to thrash. Can be eliminated by killing the udevd
daemon.
  Does not occur with the 2.6.20-15 kernel.
