Hello all. I have a problem related to the device mapper. I am running SLES 9 with SP2 on a z890 on VM. In one of my images I am getting an error at boot when the system tries to activate the device mapper. The exact message is:
Activating device mapper... /etc/init.d/boot.d/S06boot.device-mapper: line 43: 4777 Segmentation fault modprobe dm-mod device-mapper kernel module not loaded: can't create /dev/mapper/control. ..failed After that the system comes up but with errors and as a very limited system (i.e. no network, unreadable output with commands such as ls). I have determined that I am getting a segmentation fault when the system tries to run modprobe dm-mod but I don't know why. I get a segmentation fault when I try to run modprobe dm-mod from the command line. The only thing that happened before crash was I got an error when trying to start Software AG's Natural application saying it could not create semephore semkey = 61115111. I rebooted and I was hosed. I am not sure if that has anything to do with the problem, but it was the only thing that happened before the crash. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for any help.
