ends up in an uninterruptable sleep state (system cannot umount /
during shutdown).
The test system is a 100MHz 486 Planar wall mount, same problem with
or without modules. The proper fs support is present in the kernel,
while CONFIG_DEVFS_FS is not set. The linux distribution base was a
fresh slackware-current, it meets all requirements mentioned in
linux/Documentation/Changes. Everything else tested has worked fine
so far, the 2.2.18 kernel did not have this loopback problem.
How do I track this down?

This is becoming a FAQ.
Go to
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/axboe/patches
and get the newest Jens Axboe's loopback fs patch (seems to be
2.4.1-pre10/loop-3.bz2 atm, though I thought Jens was going to release
loop-4 sortly.)
See if the problem goes away with it.
I'm not sure if Alan has any plans to merge this to ac-series. It would
appear a worthy candidate...

2.4.2-pre1/loop-4.bz2 is the newest one, but I think I saw that there's
still a bug in it which can hang the kernel.
I think he said that he was going to release loop-5 soon.

Ok, then I just fumbled with my ftp client - I notice the 2.4.2-pre1 dir.
Thanks for the correction.

Should've been 'I didn't notice'
Looks like I can't get anything right, I already rue I answered the question
in the first place...
