Doing a dist-upgrade from Feisty to Hardy, I suddenly received the following error message repeatingly on tty's:
It seems to be a known bug:device-mapper: table: 254:6: linear: dm-linear: Device lookup failed
device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table

An ugly side-effect was that some partitions couldn't be mounted anymore - including the one containing /home. This caused my kde to puke after startup with the following error:
Could Not Start Kstartupconfig. Check your Installation
[SOLUTION]
I had to remove the package "evms":
Code: Select all
apt-get remove evms
