When installing a new kernel with 1.98+20100527-2 update-grub complains
about missing device-mapper:
Running update-grub.
/proc/devices: No entry for device-mapper found
...
/proc/devices: No entry for device-mapper found
Generating grub.cfg ...

/proc/devices: No entry for device-mapper found
...
/proc/devices: No entry for device-mapper found
done

The device-mapper seems to be related to RAID and I don't have any RAID
configuration for this box. However, libdevmapper1.02.1 is installed but
no LVM is used either. Should there be a device-mapper entry
in /proc/devices even if no LVM is used? The printouts are annoying!
