linux-image-2.6.22 spams logs with device-mapper

[Michal Suchanek]

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.22-11-generic

When I boot with the new kernel all consoles and the syslog receive lots of device-mapper errors, and the DVD-ROM keeps flashing every few seconds trying to close the tray or inspect the media or something. Happens with 2.6.22-10, 2.6.22-11, not with 2.5.20-15, 2.6.20-16.

Since the problem starts when evms is started I guess it can be solved by removing evms (since it can be removed now).

But it could cause problems on upgrade since evms used to be mandatory.

I also have exactly the same symptoms but the log is different.
Here's the log message :
device-mapper : table : 254 : 2 : linear : dm-linear : Device lookup failed.
I need a quick solution as I wouldn't like to loose my data.

When I try to work as sudo, I get this message :
E: Impossible de verrouiller /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Ressource temporairement non disponible)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

Beginning with the Hardy Heron 8.04 development cycle, all open Ubuntu kernel bugs need to be reported against the "linux" kernel package. We are automatically migrating this bug to the new "linux" package. However, development has already began for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. It would be helpful if you could test the upcoming release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . If the issue still exists, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux" task from "Incomplete" to "New". We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Thanks!
