Description Vincent Greff 2000-11-23 19:33:55 UTC

I use RH7.0 with all the latest patches on an AMD475 processor.
The same thing works great under RH6.2

whenever I issue the following command:
mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 7.0-i386-upgrade.iso /mnt/loop/
I get this output:
ioctl: LOOP_SET_FD: Invalid argument

Thank you in advance for your help

Vince

Can't reproduce this...
Maybe your loop0 device is already in use?
Try letting the kernel choose:
	mount -tiso9660 -oro 7.0-i386-upgrade.iso /mnt/loop
