Is device-mapper driver missing from kernel?
Command failed

This latest kernel apparently installs, and seems to boot OK on my
laptop, but has trouble recognizing my IOGear MiniView III 4-port USB
KVM. On one boot the ATEN device is not found and I have no KVM keyboard
or mouse. When I remove the device and reboot, the KVM is found again
and everything is OK. It seems to toggle each time I boot.
