Hi to all
After compiling kernel 2.4.1-3mdk, while making initrd I got this message:
[root@localhost linux]# mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.1-3mdk.img 2.4.1-3mdk
mke2fs 1.19, 13-Jul-2000 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09
mount: Could not find any loop device, and, according to /proc/devices,
this kernel does not know about the loop device.
(If so, then recompile or `insmod loop.o'.)
Can't get a loopback device
As I was quite sure I had selected it I went looking for it, and found in
/usr/src/linux(-->2.4.1)/drivers/block and in
/lib/modules/2.4.1-3mdk/kernel/drivers/block
But when I attempted
[root@localhost block]# insmod loop.o
loop.o: unresolved symbol blk_queue_make_request_R88ac0aa0
loop.o: unresolved symbol generic_make_request_Rc37092df
[root@localhost block]#
Very luckily, for me, that I had saved original modules, so I could copy
loop.o from there.
Is it a bug?
Best regards
Alberto Vorano
