Yes. I too have the same problem. Looks like a bug to me.
binand@binand[~]:(37) sudo modprobe loop
/lib/modules/2.4.14/kernel/drivers/block/loop.o: unresolved symbol deactivate_page

binand@binand[/usr/src/linux]:(43) find . -name \*.c | xargs grep deactivate_page
./drivers/block/loop.c: deactivate_page(page);
./drivers/block/loop.c: deactivate_page(page);
Thats all. The function deactivate_page seems to have been removed in
this kernel version, and all references to it have been deleted (this,
after checking the patch from 2.4.13 to 2.4.14). Someone probably
forgot about loop.c.
I don't have the time to recompile right now, but check out if this
patch helps you. Post the results on this list please.
