This will create as many entries in /dev/mapper as there are partitions 
in /dev/System/newcpanel.  You can then mount these or activate the 
embedded logical volume as necessary
if /dev/System/newcpanel is a file rather than a logical volume or 
similar, then you'll need to make it into a device with losetup.
kpartx is nothing to do with kde or X :-)
