Bug#302523: kernel-image-2.6.11-9-amd64-k8: module dm_mod locks my IDE disks

> Output of dmsetup?

I guess that you are interested in "dmsetup ls", right?  

After I fix my system by removing the dm_mod module and manually
mounting my 2 PATA drives, I get:

# dmsetup ls
/proc/misc: No entry for device-mapper found
Is device-mapper driver missing from kernel?
Failure to communicate with kernel device-mapper driver.
/proc/misc: No entry for device-mapper found
Is device-mapper driver missing from kernel?
Failure to communicate with kernel device-mapper driver.
Incompatible libdevmapper 1.01.04 (2005-08-02)(compat) and kernel driver
Command failed

# modprobe dm_mod
# dmsetup ls
No devices found

In fact I guess that you are interested in the dmsetup output right
after the boot, when the dm_mod module still locks my PATA drives.
Unfortunately I cannot afford to reboot this machine now.  I will do it
when kernel 2.6.13 is out.
