i'm having problems getting mkinitrd to work with 2.4.18 in a redhat 7.2 system. are there any kernel options that i should be aware of to get this to work properly that i'm somehow missing?
I would appreciate if you hit enter about every 70 keystrokes.
Also, describing a symptom rather than vague "i'm having problems" may help.

Specifically, i get the error message:
"all of your loopback devices are in use"
I have the follow kernel options enabled, using Redhat's kernel config as a guide:
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=mCONFIG_BLK_DEV_NBD=mCONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=yCONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_SIZE=4096CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=y
Thanks for the help.

Unfortunately, it only says that setting up the loopback failed. You are not necesserily running out of free loopback devices. Does mounting anything on the loopback work?
mount -t iso9660 -o loop /your/favourite/something.iso /mnt/cdrom
I'll drop cc on the next round.
