Hi everybody, reading the redhat 8.0 and losetup question archived in http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/2002-12/msg00061.html and Herberts answer I now know that I#m not alone with that problem. Herbert posted a link to his rh8.0 rpm's which fix that problem. They're compiled for kernel 2.4.18-14 which came on the original rh8 cds. Actually I updated already to the 2.4.18-24.8.0 and will more likely use my self compiled kernel 2.4.20. So I guess it's better not to use these rpms. Can anybody point me to a different solution? Or shall I just update the losetup and mount by these rpms? A rpm -ivh obviously gives a file /sbin/losetup from install of losetup-2.11r-10int conflicts with file from package losetup-2.11r-10 Thanks in advance Thorsten - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
