is loopback working in 2.4.3 yet?
for 2.2, all you need to do is install kernel-patch-int, then build
the kernel (remove "fakeroot" if doing as root (tsk)) with:
untar /usr/src/kernel-source-2.xx $somewhere
cd $somewhere
export PATCH_THE_KERNEL=YES
fakeroot make-kpkg --revision mykernel.1 kernel_image
dpkg -i ../kernel-image-2*_mykernel.1*.deb
for 2.4 you'll have to apply the patch manually (there's no debian
package yet), then run the same make-kpkg command.
