YES!! That's exactly what I also get. All the way from 2.2.16-1 to -4mdk. I
imagine it must be something really simple  stupid I'm not doing right,
but... what is it?

Hello again,
Ok, I've been given the correct syntax for mkinitrd, now for the
output:
"mount: Could not find any loop device, and, according to /proc/devices,
this kernel does not know about the loop device.  (If so, then recompile
or 'insmod loop.o'.)
Can't get a loopback device"

eh???

Mike

did *upgrade* the kernel? in that case you run into problem.

"modprobe loop" is now done in %preun, so it should work better now...

Yes, I did an "rpm -Uvh". So, suppose for a minute that I am starting over:
I have just installed ML 7.1 and I want to use kernel 2.2.16. What must I do
to get it right? Perhaps "rpm -ivh" ?
