I'm certainly not going to attempt an autobuilder build when the SDK kernel source is out of date compared with what's on the device itself...
Yeah, that one was a headscratcher - kernel on a preproduction device newer than the 'final' SDK... Or are we going to have torrent style final-ultimate-repack SDKs ?
That is clear, it's just that it seems things are still in flux on the kernel level. Until the device-sdk-autobuilder trinity settles on a common 'final' version, it's not really worth the effort.
Hmm, what I find strange, is that dm-loop is not in mainline kernel. What is reason for this? I can hardly find information about it, and cannot find module pre-compiled either.
I have in fact 2 dm modules loaded (no idea why but they're loaded): dm_crypt and dm_road but they use _ underscore not - stripe. WTF?
Ok! Quim has announced the new final-final SDK, and it should have the shipping kernel version in it. Can one of you guys work your magic and get the dm-loop packages into Fremantle extras-devel? I would be so grateful!
Errr... I thought I fixed it a while back ? I did not test extensively but a quick test run went through OK... Can you confirm the problem with the latest dmsetup in extras-devel ? On a side note, now that the release firmware is out, I planned on a little Fremantle dm_loop hackery tonight.

Someone else reported the same error when trying to install the dmsetup package. Did you fix this one?

I finally tried out the Fremantle packages in Extras-devel. In fact, I've made my Fremantle Easy Chroot package use the dmloop system if it is installed.
Some things I would like:
I wish kernel-module-dmloop depended on dmsetup and libdevmapper1.02.1. It would be nice if the dependencies went both ways, but it is essential to pull in dmsetup if you install kernel-module-dmloop.
I was doing some testing, uninstalling and reinstalling the dmsetup packages in Fremantle. I had the same problem with that dmsetup.rules file not being deleted when the package is removed.
