Error: "failed to mount loopack device /dev/loop0" while mounting stage2.

List,

In order to explore the behavior of Anaconda, and pave the way for changes
which would allow one to install from a device specified by it's "LABEL" or
"UUID",  I am currently trying to install from a known configuration with a
specified hard drive. I am installing with my kickstart file inside of my
initrd, and my installation media is a hard drive connected to the system
via USB.  My kernel line (in grub) is as follows: "kernel vmlinuz
ks=file:/kickstarts/install.ks stage2=hd:/dev/sdd1:/images/stage2.img".

As near as I can tell, this is a valid installation method, with valid
syntax.  I am, however, unable to perform the install.  The error I am
seeing indicates that the system was unable to mount the stage2 image
because the loop device it was attempting to use (/dev/loop0) does not
exist.  Here is the actual text of the error:

  16:04:21 INFO    : mounting device sdd1 for hard drive install
  16:05:51 INFO    : Path to stage 2 image is /mnt/isodir/images/stage2.img
  16:05:51 ERROR    : failed to mount loopack device /dev/loop0 on
/mnt/runtime as /tmp/install.img: /dev/loop0: No such file or directory
  16:05:54 INFO    : unmounting loopback /mnt/runtime /dev/loop0
  16:05:54 ERROR    : LOOP_CLR_FD failed for /mnt/runtime /dev/loop0: Bad
file descriptor

Can anyone please help me with this.  Am I doing something wrong, or does
this code just not work?  Has anyone else had success with a similar setup?

Thank you,
  Jason Maestri
