On my redhat 7.1 machine I have been using the 2.4.0 redhat kernel and
mounting ISO's to loop devices and it worked fine. I upgraded to a 2.4.2
kernel and now none of the ISO's will mount. They all hang when the
command is run. Are there any other known occurences of this?
I am not on the list so if there some issue that you would like to tell me
or if you need more information please write me back directly.

I can confirm that mount over loopback hangs on 2.4.2 (from kernel.org),
regardless of the filesystem type.

It seems to have gone away in the 2.4.2-acX series.
