Bug#473075: No /dev/disk/
OK, here with all the latest packages on my K7 today,
there are bad days and there are good days.
On the good days a good kernel gets installed and all is well.
On the bad days one installs a bad kernel which will fail at boot.
The bad installation makes a kernel that:
*Will have no /dev/disk/
meaning that /etc/fstab must have all /dev/hd* entries instead.
*Doesn't know about USB Flash cards.
*Makes these weird lilo messages:
# uname -a
Linux jidanni1 2.6.24-1-686 #1 SMP Thu Mar 27 17:45:04 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
# lilo
/proc/misc: No entry for device-mapper found
Is device-mapper driver missing from kernel?
/dev/mapper/control: open failed: No such device
Failure to communicate with kernel device-mapper driver.

Incompatible libdevmapper 1.02.24 (2007-12-20)(compat) and kernel driver
Added 2.6.24-1-686 *
Added 2.6.22-3-k7
No, downgrading libdevmapper didn't help. Anyway, upon reboot all was
well.
