Problem solved! With the last kernel upgrade I must have changed my loop |
| 16 |
devices from compiled in to modular, and there's no "loop" entry |
| 17 |
in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6. If I "modprobe loop" everything |
| 18 |
works like it's supposed to. |

Earlier I had also run "grep -i loop /etc/udev/*" and got no results, |
| 21 |
which sent me into a tailspin - note the spectacular omission of the -r |
| 22 |
parameter. |
