[gentoo-dev] LiveCD; can we remove cloop?

Hi,

Is it possible to have the LiveCD not use cloop anymore? I want to test
LiveCDs using UML, but the UML-kernels don't support cloop. I don't really
want to burn a CD and spend one of my boxes to continuously try installing
Gentoo.

Ofcourse, if anyone know a UML-sources with cloop, that would be appreciated
too :)

Wkr,
	Sven Vermeulen

I'm a poor student without VMWare :) If we however could get UML with cloop
working, this would be great.

What's the problem with cloop?  Which version of cloop are you trying to use?  
Do you have any more information about why it doesn't work?  What errors 
occur when you try to insmod cloop?  Or do the errors occur when you try to 
mount /dev/cloop?

And what kernel have you patched to add UML into?  Current implementations of 
cloop only work with Linux 2.4.

File a bug, and assign it to me.

Best regards,
Stu

Even the poorest of students can evaluate VMWare for 30 days for free.
