Do you mean "dm_mod", which is the core of the DM driver?

This means a user-space program tried to load a device-table for a target-type 
that doesn't exist or couldn't be loaded.

That is the module for MD/Software-RAID RAID-1, not the Device-Mapper 
mirroring module. They are completely different drivers that just happen to 
be in the same directory in the kernel source and module trees.

The Device-Mapper mirroring target is called "dm-mirror". Check your kernel 
configuration and make sure you have CONFIG_DM_MIRROR set to "y" or "m". If 
necessary, you may need to rebuild your kernel to enable it. Once it's 
enabled, run "dmsetup targets" and look for a "mirror" entry. If you've 
compiled DM mirroring as a module, try "modprobe dm-mirror", and then run 
"dmsetup targets" again.
