Hi all, I know this is not Fedora but it is close enough I think. I have just updated a Redhat 2 box running kernel " uname -a Linux erato 2.4.9-e.72enterprise #1 SMP Tue Jul 3 21:57:23 EDT 2007 i686 unknown When installing a new kernel after downloading it via rhn I got the follwoing: [root@erato up2date]# rpm -ivh kernel/kernel-enterprise-2.4.9-e.74.i686.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:kernel-enterprise ########################################### [100%] All of your loopback devices are in use! I checked arounf the web but struggled to find an answer. It seems according to grub it did not write the initrd line into the config, so I guess the initrd went wrong. I looked at the mods loaded and noticed no loop device, however after the attemped install the folloing line appeared. [root@erato up2date]# lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted loop 11952 0 At this point I ran out of ideas, can anyone suggest what step to take next, this is a live server and as such do not want tt do lots of reboots, it is also a remote server that I only have access to via ssh, so want to be careful about what I do to the network and loopback device.
