Hi,

if you run slackware-current and do the upgrade to lilo-22.8-i486-1 you
will need to load the dm-mod kernel module before running lilo in order
to prevent you from a sequence of error messages:

# modprobe dm-mod
# lilo

Without dm-mod you will see:

# lilo
/proc/misc: No entry for device-mapper found
Is device-mapper driver missing from kernel?
Failure to communicate with kernel device-mapper driver.
/proc/misc: No entry for device-mapper found
Is device-mapper driver missing from kernel?
Failure to communicate with kernel device-mapper driver.
Incompatible libdevmapper 1.02.09 (2006-08-15)(compat) and kernel driver
Added Linux *

Kind regards
Dieter

But, lilo correctly writes out the mapped sectors, so the messages
seem harmless, if somewhat alarming.
