Summary: losetup not working
Description:
Hello,
It seems I'm unable to have a working losetup inside my busybox.
I'm trying to mount an iso image through NFS from a busybox env launched
from PXE.
I've read http://bugs.uclibc.org/view.php?id=498 and thought I found
the issue, so I desactivated devfs, but it doesn't help.
I tried 1.01, 1.1-pre, svn version, and they all fail in a different
way:
1.01: NFS mount doesn't work :-( so I can't have access to my iso image.
But as 1.10 has some interesting features for my project, I'd prefer to
use it.
With 1.1.0-pre1 or SVN:
# losetup /dev/loop7 /tmp/isodir/rhel3-1.iso
losetup /dev/loop7: Invalid argument
Kernel is a RHEL 3 one (2.4.21 based), loop module is loaded and attached
is my .config:
Any hint would be welcome.

A colleague using my tool has reported that it works without issue on a
RHEL4 so it could be a problem uniquely on a 2.4 based kernel.
