Comment 1 Greg Kroah-Hartman (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-01-29 09:10:36 UTC 
Works for me here.  Do the /sys/block/loop/ directories show up when you 
modprobe the loop module?
Comment 2 postmodern 2005-01-29 12:20:44 UTC 
Ah ok, for some reason sysfs is not being mounted. Once mounted it all worked.
