Hello,
I ran into a situation where I don't know how to break the catch-22 cycle.
The scenario is like this:
0. from a DELL machine with scsi device
1. I installed the FreeSwan ipsec that seems like a rebuild of kernel is required
so that when insmod loads ipsec.o there will be no error caused by the unreferenced varibales from the current booting kernel
2. I rebuilt the kernel, that went fine
3. but the mkinitrd failed with the error message:
"Alll of your loopback devices are in use"
and I think the real problem could be that the loop.o was not loaded
You've almost answered your own question. When you configured this question it looks as though you didn't include the loopback device in the kernel configuration. It's an easy thing to miss, I know I've missed it on several occasions. Don't forget to include initial ramdisk support as well -- and don't make it a module!
