[PLUG] Can't create INIT RAMDISK

[Rupert Heesom <raheesom@navpoint.com>]

I'm trying to create an initial RAM-disk to make sure that a modular
scsi driver is working when I convert my system to use LVM.

I have the following error msg when I run mkinitrd -


    [root@NAV-111 /boot]# mkinitrd initrd-2.4.3.img 2.4.3
    All of your loopback devices are in use!

How do I sort this one out??  Are the loopback devices the IRQs?

I know I'm running more devices than I need to, like the kernel loads 2
USB drivers (usb-uhci & usbcore) which I don't use.

My /proc/devices file looks like -

Character devices:
  1 mem
  2 pty
  3 ttyp
  4 ttyS
  5 cua
  6 lp
  7 vcs
  9 st
 10 misc
 14 sound
119 vmnet
128 ptm
136 pts
162 raw
180 usb

Block devices:
  1 ramdisk
  2 fd
  3 ide0
  8 sd
 65 sd
 66 sd

Am I looking in the right places??
