Sorry if this is a duplicate, I did not see the first message make it to the list. Hello all, I upgraded the kernel on my RH 7.0 box from 2.2.16-22 to 2.2.17-14. I successfully installed the following RPMS: kernel-2.2.17-14.i386.rpm kernel-pcmcia-cs-2.2.17-14.i386.rpm kernel-utils-2.2.17-14.i386.rpm All the RPMS installed without a problem. However, whenever I try to run mkinitrd to create a RAM disk image for the new kernel, mkinitrd bombs with the message "All you loopback devices are in use". I even tried to run mkinitrd in single user mode to no avail (thinking perhaps some other stuff running on the box might be using up the loopback devices). I checked and made sure that I have /dev/loop0 through /dev/loop15. Although I am relatively new to Linux, I have done kernel upgrades in the past without a problem. I cannot figure out what is going wrong this time! My system is using mkinitrd from the mkintrd-2.6-1 RPM. Does anyone have any suggestions how to overcome this last hurdle in the kernel upgade? Thanks in advance for any help, --Moby _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
