 |
|
Has anyone gotten genkernel to work when running the 2.6.22 kernel? It complains to me that loopback is not supported, yet lsmod confirms that I've loaded it:
| Code: | lsmod
Module Size Used by
loop 13956 0
|
Mounting a disc image doesn't work, either:
| Code: | | mount: could not find any device /dev/loop# |
I restarted udevd after loading loop, though I doubt that could make a difference. It works fine with 2.6.21.
Edit:
Hahah, everyone hates my topics. I've only had 1 topic replied to so far 
Edit:
So no one's got it working?

i believe not many people already tried that because .22 is this in rc state. |

i can confirm this. altough loopback device is compiled into the kernel, genkernel bails out.
| Code: | uname -srvmp
Linux 2.6.22-rc1-skunk1.0 #3 SMP PREEMPT Tue May 29 22:20:46 CEST 2007 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 4300@1.80GHz GenuineIntel
grep -i loop /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=y |

Thanks for that  I suppose it's good the fault only extends as far as device creation ... |
