Subject: Device mapper regression 2.6.23 vs. v2.6.23-6597-gcfa76f0

Hi.

I have an external hard drive with an encrypted partition. I am using
kde so all i had to do under 2.6.23 was
  "cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb2 crypt-extern"

then udev/hal/kde (?)automatically created an desktop icon. i could
click this icon to mount and open the drive.

when i do the luksOpen command with v2.6.23-6597-gcfa76f0 this icon is
not created anymore.

a few commits were made in drivers/md, so it seems something broke.

config extract:

CONFIG_MD=y
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_MD is not set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DM=y
# CONFIG_DM_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_DM_CRYPT=y
CONFIG_DM_SNAPSHOT=m
CONFIG_DM_MIRROR=m
CONFIG_DM_ZERO=m
# CONFIG_DM_MULTIPATH is not set
CONFIG_DM_DELAY=m
CONFIG_DM_UEVENT=y
# CONFIG_FUSION is not set

any ideas?
