--- Comment #6 from David Rankin 2010-03-31 04:02:05 UTC ---
Michal,
OK, I give... "What am I screwing up?" Device mapper doesn't seem to be
finding the array that is right in front of its face. I fumbled around a bit
trying to get it to work, but it never would. Here is a chronology of my
fumbling:

Ok, so now I basically just reconfigure for 2.6.25.20-0.5:
[22:55 ecstasy:/boot] # ln -sf initrd-2.6.25.20-0.5-default initrd
[23:00 ecstasy:/boot] # ln -sf vmlinuz-2.6.25.20-0.5-default vmlinuz
[23:00 ecstasy:/boot] # cat grub/menu.lst
