# rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.22-1.2166.nptl.i686.rpm ... ... 2:kernel ########################################### [ 67%] /dev/mapper/control: open failed: No such file or directory Is device-mapper driver missing from kernel? Command failed
This latest kernel apparently installs, and seems to boot OK on my laptop, but has trouble recognizing my IOGear MiniView III 4-port USB KVM. On one boot the ATEN device is not found and I have no KVM keyboard or mouse. When I remove the device and reboot, the KVM is found again and everything is OK. It seems to toggle each time I boot.

Looks like your mkinitrd is device-mapper-compatible, but you're not installing a kernel that supports the device-mapper module. That's 2.6 only. It's supposed to be harmless, but you might want to report it if you're using the latest mkinitrd from arjan's or FCdeveloment tree. If not, maybe grab the latest and try again?

Hmm, this should be no different on earlier kernels, as there's been no changes whatsoever in the usb code.
Very strange.

Dave,
Alexandre suggested I upgrade mkinitrd to the latest test version 3.5.18-1. That seems to have fixed the KVM toggling. I haven't noticed any other problems with -1.2166.
