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.

Thanks for this. I communicated with Stewart and it helped solve his
problem. Apparently, like many, he follows the old practise of having
/usr on a separate partition from /, so things in /usr/lib are not
mounted at the same time as / and hence are not found.
