Did you do: rpm -ihv kernel-2.4.9-x.ix86.rpm rather than rpm -Uhv kernel-2.4.9-x.ix86.rpm ? Is the module directory there for the running kernel?

Could be: you do not have a loop module for your kernel available (most likely) you have already mounted 8 loopback devices > How can > I resolve the problem? Install the kernel package that contains the appropriate loop.o, matching the running kernel, then modprobe loop lsmod | grep loop > Thanks for your help! > > Regards > River L Good luck. -- Nick Urbanik RHCE [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dept. of Information & Communications Technology Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education (Tsing Yi) Tel: (852) 2436 8576, (852) 2436 8579 Fax: (852) 2436 8526 PGP: 53 B6 6D 73 52 EE 1F EE EC F8 21 98 45 1C 23 7B ID: 7529555D GPG: 7FFA CDC7 5A77 0558 DC7A 790A 16DF EC5B BB9D 2C24 ID: BB9D2C24 _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
