Weird. This error is about loopback, but another one - network loopback interface (lo). And not being able to create it means that kernel is severely out of required resources for normal work (memory would be first type of needed resource). > I'm looking forward to trying > these updated images but I don't understand what I need to get it > working.

You may want to try to google the error above - it may be some generic case. Next step I would try is to boot using "naked" HaRET, kernel, and rootfs on card partition, not in loopback image. Unfortunately, I don't have hx4700 on my hands now, so I cannot reproduce problem above myself now. > > Thank you, > > Lex.
