Summary: mount loop device support broken
Description:
Starting from some release after 1.0rc1, mounting loop devices (in my case
an ISO image) doesn't work right anymore. Right now I use 1.01
Under Kernel 2.4.31 it seems the mount doesn't find a free loop device and
you have to specife "mount -o loop=/dev/loop ...."
Under Kernel 2.6.13.2 I couldn't get it to work at all. I tried the latest
code from SVN about 3 weeks ago, but it doesn't work either.
Unfortunately I can't give you more information.

I did some further testing and it doesn't seem to be dependend on the
Kernel release.
Modifying the mount command to use "-o loop=/dev/loop0" returns the error
message, that it's not a valid block device.
Setting up the loopback device via losetup before the mount also doesn't
solve the problem.
One test used glibc 2.3.2 (kernel 2.4) and the other glibc 2.3.5 (kernel
2.6).
Both times busybox was statically compiled and used in the InitRD.
