Hi, The patch against loop.c is neither a fix, nor does it create loop devices on demand:
Facts are instead, at least on my machine: The number of available loop devices is reduced from 8 (conventional standard of preceding 2.6 kernels) to 1. The consequence is: If you have to mount more than one single iso-image with the loop parameter you are receiving the following message during system boot: "mount: could not find any free loop device" Regards Uwe -- GMX FreeMail: 1 GB Postfach, 5 E-Mail-Adressen, 10 Free SMS.
