1 I don't have any problem with a normal kernel.

3 Reverted back to the gentoo-sources which is the 2.4.26-gentoo-r9, works fine
4 with the devicemapper.
5 (mempool_alloc_slab included in ./include/linux/mempool.h)
6
7 The problem with the gs-sources are that somehow it's patched for HA Cluster
8 as well, there's where this mempool_alloc_slab comes from, and I haven't
9 found any other reference to that one either in the 2.4.25_pre7-gss-r11
10 version.

12 I'll stick to the gentoo-source, it doesn't have evms which I wanted to try
13 out but still fullfilles all my other requirements.
