Hello,
I just finished trying to recompile my kernel for the third time; I'm sure I
followed all the steps exactly as described on the MUO pages and when it
gets to the make install part - it fails on mkinitrd. I try doing it
manually as the error message suggests and I get:
mke2fs 1.27 (14-Mar-2002)
could not find any device /dev/loop#
Can't get a loopback device
I've left my laptop sitting as is and I'm hoping that I can rescue it from
where it is - if not, at least find out what the problem is.
Thanks for any help, Mike
I remembered some disussion of a like issue on cooker; gather modprobe
loop and retry mkinitrd worked-around for some; the threads can be found
with a search on 'could not find any device /dev/loop#' at
