Mount ISO file Problems

stuartornum · 02-17-2006, 04:48 AM

Hi,

Just got a new VPS account with CentOS 4.2, minimum server build probably.

When I try and mount the CentOS ISO with this:

mount -o loop -t iso9660 CentOS-4.2-i386-bin1of4.iso /mnt/iso1

and get the following error:

mount: Could not find any loop device. Maybe this kernel does not know
about the loop device? (If so, recompile or `modprobe loop'.)

Not really sure where to start here...?

Thanks

Use; mount -t iso9660 /path/to/image /mnt/somewhere -o loop

and if you still get the error, follow the advice and do; modprobe loop

Hi again,

tried the new command, still didnt work.

Thats just the problem I dont understand what it wants me to do with modprobe?

Thanks
