make install complains about device-mapper

When doing make install I get

[root@NetBox linux-2.6.22.1]# make install
sh /home/firedance/Kernel/linux-2.6.22.1/arch/i386/boot/install.sh 2.6.22.1p1 arch/i386/boot/bzImage System.map "/boot"
/proc/misc: No entry for device-mapper found
Is device-mapper driver missing from kernel?
Failure to communicate with kernel device-mapper driver.
Fatal: raid_setup: stat("/dev/hda")
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make: *** [install] Error 2

Am I doing something wrong or is there something wrong with the kernel I am using(not compiling):2.6.22-ARCH?

Maybe there's a way to get around this? Copying files manually I guess, (Is it much to copy?) or maybe there's a PKGBUILD for an allready compiled kernel (I mean one that only takes what's in the linux-2.6.22.1 directory and creates a package from that)

Re: make install complains about device-mapper

It looks like your trying to compile your own kernel ?

This Wiki page http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ker … rom_Source might help.

Pacman -Qi device-mapper   will tell you if device-mapper is installed on your system.
I don' t know how you can check if it is active.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Re: make install complains about device-mapper

Tho the wiki has nothing about make install I still feel stupid for not looking there, it has a pkgbuild precisly like theone I was thinking of and it says how to do it manually to.

Thankyou!

-
I have device mapper installed, and the url it gives me returns 404 on a redhat page, not digging into it tho, and nobody should for my sake, I'll just go with the pkgbuild.
