RE: [FEDORA-LIST]: followup on FC1, 2.6 kernel and LVM2

[Yanick Quirion]

Hi,

I had the same problem as you. But I fix it. When you compile LVM2, you
must have the library "libdevmapper.h" install on your system. This
library comes from "device-mapper" package, so you must install this
package before compile LVM2. I just do a ./configure, make into
device-mapper folder without patching the kernel. I also compile the
kernel 2.6 with device mapper support (not as a module).

Hope this will help you.

Regards,
Yanick Quirion
