what arch are you using (plain i386 or amd64)?

google found a similar bug report out there
-> http://www.sslug.se/emailarkiv/sikkerhed/2005_04/msg00010
but i have a hard time to decipher swedish and their solutions.


which kernel are you trying to install above?
if it's not a debian one please send in it's .config.
please provide a strace of aboves trial?

which libc6 and libdevmapper is installed on aboves box?
dpkg -l libc6
dpkg -l libdevmapper1.01

thanks for your feedback.
