Let me see if I understand this. The reason that I can't do a mkinitrd after
I upgrade to 2.2.16 is that loop.o is not already in memory before the
upgrade?
If I insmod this and then do a "rpm -U" on the new kernel package,
everything will be ok? Will loop.o still exist (and be usable) in my modules
in the 2.2.16?
