Perhaps that would explain the other problem I've seen lately. It appears that mkinitrd no longer works because the loopback device is not present. I'm not expert enough to say that is the reason, but it seems likely, since even earlier versions of the kernel suddenly lack a loopback device now. That makes it very hard to install another kernel!
I'm sure this has wider implications than what we are talking about here, but I now believe that in my case the newer kernel never installed and ran properly because of this problem. The actual kernel was placed in a file with a name different from the previous version, but there was no initrd, and the modules for the new kernel were not installed. Can we please get a working version of devfs on cooker soon?
