Can you be a bit more specific. Which distro are you using? Linux version 6 can be a lot of things like Ubuntu 6.06 or 6.10, RH6, fedora 6 etc.

Further it might help if you post your hardware configuration.

dm indicates software raid (if I'm not mistaken) and I'm not familiar with that, but others might have ideas once you post the additional info.
