This is from my desktop machine which I didn't reboot before I updated grub2.
My laptop is fine, as I didn't update grub2 before rebooting, the device mapper module loads correctly.
Reverting to previous kernel to see if I can rebuild my grub.cfg correctly!
Update:
Reverted to kernel 3.3.4-1, rebuilt grub.cfg, reinstalled kernel 3.3.4-2, rebooted, dm_mod is loading correctly!
And, I didn't realize how old this thread was, oops!
]]>What to do?
