I was testing lo_prealloc values using LOOPMODPARAMS="" in build-initrd.conf when I remembered that I had set CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y after "make LINUX_SOURCE=/usr/src/linux" and copying the module over. The "ioctl: LOOP_SET_FD: Cannot allocate memory" problem was addressed by rebuilding and copying the module. During this exercise I re-read "9. Performance tuning for 2.4 and newer kernels" of the readme. And then I re-read the same section. Hmmmm. How do I determine what value to give lo_prealloc. Cheers Jari for the help.
