    The message "device not configured" means that for some reasons your
kernel can't access a device, and it has nothing to do with Postfix.
Either one of the kernel modules can't be loaded, the kernel itself is
broken, or (more likely) your disk or disk controller is broken. One
way or another, expect to see the same message from other applications
soon enough.
