Hi!
I have also just experiened this:
device-mapper: table ioctl failed: No such device or address
Fatal: device-mapper: dm_task_run(DM_DEVICE_TABLE) failed
What I did: install etch with root-on-lvm from the rc1 installer.
Boot up. dist-upgrade to newest etch (udev 103, kernel 2.6.18-something...
Looks like my BR http://bugs.debian.org/402511 against lvm-common is
related to this issue.
The issue itself seems to be based in lvm2 and udev.
David Härdeman pointed me to
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=178321
which may have a (partial) fix for this issue in
https://bugzilla.novel

Nope, see http://lwn.net/Articles

Hi,
some trivia first:
- Debian's lilo is patched with an unofficial patch for device-mapper
support which was not updated since mid 2005
- Debian just hits the problem, but it seems to be a common problem if
I look at google queries; see also:

Ok, so here are lilo.conf, dmsetup ls, and some lilo output:
- lilo-t-v.bad
- lilo-t-v5.bad
- lilo-t-v.ok

My system has a somewhat unusual setup: I'm using lvm on RAID1. Sometime
recently, lilo just quit working:
