Loop device

[Vignesh]

First things first , Thanks Thomas for the time you spent on this..

I renamed the iso image to ubuntu.iso

root at ubuntu:/home/vignesh # mount -o loop -t iso9660 ubuntu.iso mnt
mount: could not find any device /dev/loop#

Before Reboot
root at ubuntu:~ # ls -lR /dev/loop*
ls: /dev/loop*: No such file or directory

After Reboot

root at ubuntu:~ # ls -lR /dev/loop*
ls: /dev/loop*: No such file or directory

root at ubuntu:~ # mount
/dev/hda5 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/hda2 on /mnt/shared type ext3 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)

 The image is my custom made Hoary livecd`s iso so I don`t remember the
exact md5sum but I got this...

root at ubuntu:/home/vignesh # md5sum ubuntu.iso
58d90d71192b0436343871919d8cd310  ubuntu.iso

root at ubuntu:/home/vignesh # file ubuntu.iso
ubuntu.iso: data

This is what I get.. So I can`t use this to make my next version of the
livecd or what. I have a burned version of the bootable livecd , can I
use that to make a bootable iso ?

OK... I copied the Hoary live iso.. I will use that itself..

root at ubuntu:~ # mount -o loop -t iso9660 ubuntu-5.04-live-i386.iso mnt
mount: could not find any device /dev/loop#
root at ubuntu:~ # file ubuntu-5.04-live-i386.iso
ubuntu-5.04-live-i386.iso: ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'Ubuntu 5.04 i386            ' (bootable)
root at ubuntu:~ #



Cheers!
