Hi All, I am trying to upgraded my kernel and while trying to create initrd image I am getting some problem. Here it is I issue the command: mkinird /boot/initrd-new.img 2.4.20 Output: All of your loopback devices are in use. I am not sure how should I resolve this problem. Do I have to create any new loopback or is there any way to release one of my loopback devices. One more question:I am not very much sure why exactly is initrd image created. What If I don't create this ? Is there any way that I can upgrdae my kernel without creating initrd image. Thanks, Nitin __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
