ok, that fixed the loop issue. I had to convert the .deb to a .rpm which was painful.
I used http://packages.debian.org/unstable/source/alien but modified the Alien/Packages/Deb.pm file to look for bz2 and use bzip2 instead of gzip and gz. Then ran ./alien.pl on the .deb Then ran depmod Then ran modprobe loop The AMI bundling worked but gave the following warning message: NOTE: rsync with preservation of extended file attributes failed.
