Only the *stock* kernels have all the necessary loopback patches. When you build your own you're on your own (until these get fixed upstream). If the stock kernel in fisher doesn't work, please reopen. Interestingly enough, applying Jakub's patch to 2.4.2-pre4 doesn't help it. I'm not sure why it would anyway, as it deals with changing the FD on the losetup'd file. How does an lseek to offset 0 followed by a write (to zap the boot sector) in mke2fs be affected by a patch that adds a 'change-fd ioctl' call? Anyway, 1) 2.4.0-0.99.11enterprise seems to work with the patch 2) 2.4.2-pre4 does not. And I'm not sure (see above) that the patch was trying to do anything specifically related to this issue. Which means if I'm right you might have problems with 2.4.2 we won't have a problem with 2.4.2 because we'll test it and fix it if it is broken. The only thing that we can support is the kernel as shipped with the release you're using. |
