More Loop Devices (Kernel Argument)

[fseidl]

Hello,

Does anyone know how to pass a kernel argument on bubba2? Would I have to manipulate the u-boot loader somehow?

I installed truecrypt (via the excelent manual here in the forum) want to mount several devices. Unforuntately, I need more than the installed 8 loopback devices for that, and it seems that I have to pass a kernel parameter for this.

kind regards,
Florian

Has really none yet configured kernel parameters? Or is the answer too obvious? I would really be gratefull for a hint.

This may work..
Edit /etc/modules and insert this.

Code: Select all

loop max_loop=255

Edit: This don't work module loop don't exist.
But this work.

Code: Select all

mknod -m640 /dev/loop8 b 7 8
mknod -m640 /dev/loop9 b 7 9

Thank you very much, mknod worked.

I tried to use mknod before, but it did not work, I guess I did not do it correctly. And on the internet it said I have to configure the module, which is now compiled into the kernel, therefore I assumed I had to parameterize the kernel... Anyway, thank you very much.
