kernel-sourcecode-2.6.6-1.406 fails on loopback

[RaXeT]

406 fails on custom kernel build-

make install
make[1]: `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date.
  CHK     include/linux/compile.h
Kernel: arch/i386/boot/bzImage is ready
sh /usr/src/linux-2.6.6-1.406/arch/i386/boot/install.sh 
2.6.6-1.406custom arch/i386/boot/bzImage System.map ""
All of your loopback devices are in use.
mkinitrd failed
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make: *** [install] Error 2

This also was the case with kernel-2.6.6-1.406.i686.rpm install routine.

Add this in /etc/modprobe.conf :
options loop max-loop=32

I found that I had to have the 'loop' module loaded, so do a 'modprobe
loop'  and try again.

I found that this happens when you're installing the kernel over the 
same kernel that you booted to.  Try appending a "1" to the revision or 
something before building.  Or boot to a different kernel.

Ouch. *NEVER* install a test kernel on top of your active kernel, or on top
of any other kernel if you can avoid it!
