device-mapper: : dm-linear: Device lookup failed

[Andy]

Hi

I just switched to the K7 kernel (running on a Duron - that should be 
OK, shouldn't it?) and now I get a load of error messages at bootup.

Here's an extract from the dmesg output - the device-mapper error 
repeats 20 times in total.

Seems to boot up OK and nothing obviously not working - any idea what's 
going on? It doesn't happen  if I switch back to the i386 kernel.
