I seem to remember that one has to write the name of the module before the option, like "loop.max_loop=64", if loop is a module and not compiled into the kernel. I'm not too sure, but this is something you could try ;-) If it doesn't work, an alternative may be to create a file /etc/modprobe.d/loop (for 2.6 kernels, it's different for 2.4 iand earlier) and put into it "options loop max_loop=64". cheers, Max -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
