Hi,
When running "make install" for the 2.6.3 from a RH9 2.4.20-8 machine I get the following error after the zImage is succesfully made and moved and the new System.map file is made:

/dev/mapper/control : open failed : No such file or directory
Is device-mapper driver missing fromkernel?

Googl-ing gives me all types of different solutions that don't seem related, so I'm utterly confused. After installing lvm2, am I supposed to run additional commands (i.e. vgconvert)? I installed lvm2 using the redhat rpm and statically compiled devfs into the kernel. I'm leaning towards following the solution at the bottom of:

but would running a script everytime on startup be the solution?
