It sounds like you have not properly compiled DRBD or configured your OS
for DRBD...
Have a peek at:
http://wiki.linux-ha.org/DRBD/HowTo/Install
Did you compile DRBD using the "patch kernel" or "kernel module" method?
If you patched the kernel, did you reboot with the patched kernel? If you
compiled the module, did you load the module before trying to start DRBD?
(running "# modprobe drbd" ?)
