Re: [gentoo-user] can't remove device-mapper can't install it either
That doesn't answer the question. If support is built as a module, is it loaded? go away, if it was a module it wouldn't work. been there, done it.
Re: [gentoo-user] can't remove device-mapper can't install it either
Is sdb an SD device? Is the module loaded? from the OP: I've had this problem before which I traced to the lack of support for SD cards in the kernel. This time it's something else. mw

Could be baselayout-1. Please take a look at bug #291916 [1] [1] http://bugs.gentoo.org/291916 Urs
Re: [gentoo-user] can't remove device-mapper can't install it either -- FIXED
IIRC in a thread from a few months ago there was a tip about putting the 'pause secs' command into a certain config file, which I can't recall. Or was it 'delay secs' or 'time secs' ? This was meant for the hardware to catch its breath so to speak and allow the system to find the SD card. This was about the same time I noticed that SD support was missing from the kernel. So maybe it was the the delay I added to that script, which may have disappeared in an etc-update session, and not the SD support after all. Grabbing straws here ;( It was 'sleep secs' and was meant to go just before the line starting 'ebegin' in /etc/init.d/checkfs which is no longer used in favo(u)r of /etc/init.d/fsck. So maybe SD support is extraneous. If I feel adventurous, next kernel compile time, I'll remove the support and see if it's really needed. mw
[gentoo-user] can't remove device-mapper can't install it either
Hi group, Going through a rough patch after a world update. The SD card on my netbook doesn't get mounted, ext2 filesytem not found etc. I've had this problem before which I traced to the lack of support for SD cards in the kernel. This time it's something else. Nothing wrong with the fs, it can be checked and mounted manually. Device-mapper is not in the world file but does exist in /etc/init.d and can be started and stopped OK. When I use it I get messages in the boot console of being incompatible with my baselayout-1. So, I try to unmerge it, but of course portage claims I don't have it. And if I try to emerge it, the new version is blocked by the version I'm supposed ot have?! In an earlier post 'device-mapper', somebody suggested installing lvm2 and not using device-mapper but this doesn't work for me -- assuming my problem has anything to do with device-mapper. Maxim

I assume emerge can't install because of some files lying arround from an earlier install? Then you can just remove/rename these files. A quick word of advice: If you send some related messages (e.g. from emerge) within your mail it's easier to help. Steffen

There's your problem right there. Your device-mapper can't work with baselayout-1. So, your options: Upgrade to baselayout-2 and openrc. You'll have to do it sooner or later, and right now seems to be to be a very good time to do it. device-mapper has moved into lvm2 (as lvm is the primary consumer of device-mapper). If device-mapper is not installed according to portage, and you have files left, then they are orphans left over because of CONFIG_PROTECT and can be deleted. Then emerge lvm2 So, I try to unmerge it, but of course portage claims I don't have it. And if I try to emerge it, the new version is blocked by the version I'm supposed ot have?!

There's your problem right there. Your device-mapper can't work with baselayout-1. So, your options: Upgrade to baselayout-2 and openrc. Done, following http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/openrc-migration.xml No joy. After '*Autoloaded 24 module(s)' in the boot console there's the bit '*lvm uses addon code which is deprecated' followed by '*Setting up the LVM...*Checking local filesystems...' /dev/sda1 passes but fsck.ext2 can't find /dev/sdb1,2 so /var and /home don't get mounted and the system is crippled, although I can still login and mount by hand. device-mapper has moved into lvm2 (as lvm is the primary consumer of device-mapper). If device-mapper is not installed according to portage, and you have files left, then they are orphans left over because of CONFIG_PROTECT and can be deleted. Then emerge lvm2 I removed /etc/conf.d/device-mapper and /etc/init.d/device-mapper. I emerged lvm2 and lvm is 'started', according to '/etc/init.d/lvm status'. Question: Is there supposed to be an lvm2 in init.d? I just have lvm. IIRC in a thread from a few months ago there was a tip about putting the 'pause secs' command into a certain config file, which I can't recall. Or was it 'delay secs' or 'time secs' ?
