The last message on console is : Activating device mapper.. I dont' get any oops and the system works without any problem if it boots. :) uname -a gives 2.6.18.8-0.5-default #1 SMP Fri Jun 22 12:17:53 UTC 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Let me know if you need more information, with the steps to generate that info. :) I am pasting a few lines which fall above and below the mapper activation as shown by dmesg for a successful boot.
