Yes, don't try extracting the kernel more than 7 times (assuming del_loop doesn't get called appropriately) ;-) I don't think the (needed) fix cures this particular problem though. If device would be null then losetup would be called as 'losetup (null) image' because of the sprintf in losetup.c, and then you wouldn't get the message as observed, but rather (null): No such file or directory Or is there a custom sprintf() being used? I suspect with that things go wrong earlier, causing get_device() in extract_kernel.c to be called with an empty (non-null) image parameter. Too bad ViewCVS doesn't do xrefs ;-). I don't have the full source here, so can't grep at the moment. Cheers, Emile. -- E-Advies / Emile van Bergen | [EMAIL PROTECTED] tel. +31 (0)70 3906153 | http://www.e-advies.info
