Using 2.4.14, I get a "deactivate_page" error when doing a "make modules;
make modules_install" when compiling loop as a module (i.e., depmod -a
complains about it). However, the kernel itself compiles - and boots - just
fine.

Have you tried booting with the kernel that results from the "loop as a
module" compile?
