Hi Rahul Is the module loaded whem you compile the kernel try, /sbin/lsmod
it will give you a list of loaded modules, you should see Module Size Used by ..... loop ....
if not load the module as super user /sbin/modprobe loop
and try again. If this does not work then try asking http://www.kernelnewbies.org/ This list is more appropriate for these questions.
