Hi,

  Hi Flo,

does anyone know if the 2.4.2 kernel does support loop devices - I mean
in the sense of - "It works" - I do have problems with processes like
mke2fs getting hung while accessing the loop without any error message.

I am not running 2.4.x on any other platform so i cant verify ...

  Unfortunately this isn't a problem with MIPS platform but whole kernel.
Loopback is broken. You can use mke2fs -o loop <file> instead /dev/loop0,
because loop device will goes to hell.
