Apparently libdevmapper exists on /usr/lib on Stewart's system just as
it does on mine. At the moment it is far from clear where the problem
lies and why my system works without problems and his does not. I
would be grateful for any suggestions.

For dynamic linking, libdevmapper.so needs to exist in /lib/ not /usr/lib/.

When in the recovery shell, transfer the device-mapper rpm to the broken
machine, rpm -Uvh it (you may need --force if rpm thinks it's already installed),
and reboot. Unless the kernel's initrd also needed it, that ought to fix things.

You can get the rpm from the install cds/dvd or from a yellowdog mirror site.
