Hi, The only time I had this problem if I try to upgrade kernel twice (or more) without rebooting the system and removed older kernels. If the loop back device will get removed (auto cleaned), then the second time you try to upgrade kernel the system can't find loopback driver for the current running kernel.

Narfi Stefansson Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2002 12:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Cooker] installer got stuck in a loop RC3: Just before installing the bootloader, the installer got stuck in a loop, it kept asking for installation cd 1, I put it in, it ejected it and asked for it again. We argued like this for a while, I tried to put all 3 of the CDs in several times and I ended up having to hit cancel. Things went downhill from there, and I ended up having to reboot. The short story is that I received messages about: 1) "mkinitrd failed" 2) "isa ??? failed" in drakx 3) "no loopback found" or something similar to that. That's when I had no option but to reboot. I copied the logs from /root/drakx/, they are accessible at: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~narfi/9.0RC3failure/ddebug.log.gz http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~narfi/9.0RC3failure/install.log.gz http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~narfi/9.0RC3failure/report.bug.gz and will stay there until 9.0 is released Something similar happened to me in one setup of RC2, but I tried to reproduce it, but couldn't and I lost the /root/drakx/* files from the failed installation.
