Hello,
It is resolved now (!). I tried to solve one issue but I created another one. I had a problem with "modprobe loop" under 2.6.20-1.2944.fc6 therefore (as a part of the troubleshooting) I added below line into /etc/modprobe.conf trying to force it to load at start: install loop /sbin/modprobe loop; /bin/true
Becuase I used the same name (loop) twice in above line, I created the loop...
However once I commented this line all if fine now.
Chuck - thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
I'm sorry for any confusion caused,
Jan

Hello,
I have FC6 with default latest kernel and I configured encrypted swap (using /etc/crypttab). Now when I need to use losetup to "mount" floppy disk

as a loop device, I should have module loop loaded first.
When I try "modprobe loop" modprobe hangs and starts to spawn its copies, and then I see more and more modprobe processes eating all my CPU time and swap space. The only thing which saves my system from crash is to cancel the modprobe or if I do "killall modprobe".
You need to file a bug for this. And include the contents of /etc/modprobe.conf in the report.
