Can you check if "insmod loop" causes "Unable to get major number 7 for loop" message in dmesg? Can you double check that CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=n in your _running_ kernel? "cat /proc/devices" output is useful. Regards, Jari Ruusu <jari.ruusu@pp.inet.fi> - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
