Strange, from looking at the sources this is probably the result of a
failed mmap of the RVM data partition. What exactly is wrong is unclear,
but it is either:
 - The rvm-data partition is not accessible.
 - The address (range) to which rvm is mapped is already in use.

Check whether your scsi driver is loaded, can you f.i. do
  'dd if=/dev/sdb3 of=/tmp/dump bs=1024 count=1' without errors.

Check if there is anything mapped in memory between 0x20000000 and
0x2c8000000. On linux when the server is hanging in it's crashed state,
do "cat /proc/`pidof codasrv`/maps".

That might work, but this is not caused by rvm corruption, the failed
mmap call is before those checks.
