Re: problems when running mksles9root.sh for SP4
This is what I got from IBM support. In the 2.6 kernel for SLES 9, the loop module has been compiled into the kernel. You will need to edit your /etc/zipl.conf and add the following: max_loop=16 Then run zipl Then reboot. That fixed it. Thanks to all who replied.

That 7 is the *major* device number associated with the loopback device driver. Each loopback device uses a *minor" device number to differentiate it. Do a "ls -l /dev/loop*" and you will see that all have major device 7 and the minor devices differ. You can just make more device nodes if your system doesn't have the max_loop thing. - MacK. - Edmund R. MacKenty Software Architect Rocket Software, Inc.

I noticed in your earlier post that mount | grep loop showed a DVD iso mounted on loop0 -- but your losetup -a shows loop0 being mounted as the CD1 iso ..Have you tried umounting the DVD iso? It looks like an NFS mount .. Just wondering if something is mucked up -- what does df -h show after you do the manual mounts?Is the DVD still showing up? Also - have you already tried rebooting?

It looks to me like mksles9root.sh used up your last two loop devices, so it then failed when trying to loopback-mount CD3. Use "losetup -a" to see the status of your attached loopback devices.

Re: problems when running mksles9root.sh for SP4
Bernard, So you have 16 loopback devices. But I see the error: > mount: could not find any free loop device So I wonder how many of the 16 are available for use. What does "mount | grep loop" return? (I'm not sure of another way of telling which loopback devices are being used). Here's an example: # mount | grep loop /nfs/rhel5.2/RHEL5.2-Server-20080430.0-s390x-DVD.iso on /nfs/rhel5.2/dvd type iso9660 (ro,loop=/dev/loop0) /nfs/sles10sp2/SLES-10-SP2-s390x-GMC-DVD1.iso on /nfs/sles10sp2/CD1 type iso9660 (rw,loop=/dev/loop1) /nfs/rhel5/RHEL5-Server-20070417.0-s390x-DVD.iso on /nfs/rhel5/dvd type iso9660 (ro,loop=/dev/loop2) /nfs/sles10sp1/SLES10-SP1-DVD-s390x-RC5-DVD1.iso on /nfs/sles10sp1/dvd type iso9660 (ro,loop=/dev/loop3) /nfs/sles10sp2/SLES-10-SP2-s390x-GMC-DVD1.iso on /nfs/sles10sp2/dvd1 type iso9660 (ro,loop=/dev/loop4) Another thought would be to preface the mksles9root.sh command with "sh -x" and see if that gives any more hints.
