Subjectkernel panic when using loop device on kernel 2.4.3
I have been getting kernel panics on kernel 2.4.3
when using the loop device on a rather regular basis.
I get a kernel panic but no oops message. The kernel
panic message says Kernel panic: invalid blocksize passed
to set_blocksize. I saw that someone else on the list
has had these problems as well but I have seen no response.
Has a fix for this bug been posted that I have not seen?
Is the fix in any current stable or AC kernel? As far as
I know I am not using any strange options. The only thing
I can think of would be that multiple people are using the
loopback device at the same time. This is because the box
that is having the problems is a build server for a custom
software distro. We use the loopback filesystem to create
the boot image. The box is a 4way xeon with 1GB of ram.
Are there any known issues with loopback and SMP? Or even
loopback and multiple mounts/usage?

ver_linux output attached.

Thanks,
Mike
