I used to be able to mount ISO images through the loop device as
follows:
mount -t iso9660 -o loop /home/ste/file.iso /mnt/iso1
But after installing Slackware 12.0 and getting udev fully in force, I
can't mount these any more.  I get an error saying that loop is not a
device.  When I look in /dev, I do not see a loop defined there
either.  What do I need to do in order to get loop working again?
When I looked in the kernel config for both 2.6.16.12, 2.6.20, and my
current 2.6.21.5, the configuration option is set to 'm' for module.

Any ideas on how to restore this functionality? I'm quite green to
udev so there may be lots to learn in there.

Thanks for any help.

Try modrobe loop
Then see if you can do a loop mount

Also note that udev doesn't seem to have a /dev/loop anymore
either. The way it works for me at least, is /dev/loop/0, /dev/loop1,
/dev/loop2, and so on.

Thanks to both of you.  That did the trick.  Now to get loop loaded
automatically whenever I want it.  I thought modules were supposed to
load themselves when called upon - another point of ignorance on my
part I guess.

Yes Greg, the loop file structure does the same thing on my Slack box
also.  But -o loop works fine in the mount call so won't wory much
about that.

As a side note, I just switched over from cdrtools to cdrkit as
cdrecord kept getting me errors with my newer burner.  Cdrkit works
great with wodim so my CD manipulation needs are all met again.

Hi.

On my Debian box, modules do get loaded automatically.  Sounds like your problem is specific to Slackware.

Hi Steve and all. On my LFS system, the line that mainly controls automatic module loading is this one, located in my /etc/udev/rules.d/41-modprobe.rules:
ENV{MODALIAS}=="?*",    RUN+="/sbin/modprobe $env{MODALIAS}"
