/dev/loop0 device not found error

[zenny]

The make script fails with "/dev/loop0 device not found" error almost at the end of compilation.

What is your host system?

All dependencies are installed, fyi.

It seems like others have had issues on 14.04. I'm on 14.10 currently and it works fine there. If I have some time, I might set up another 14.04 VM to try it out there.

As a rule of thumb, I do not use anything rolling release stuff with any OS. In Ubuntu's case, it is either 12.04 or 14.04. Does your script works with debian stable (wheezy)?

[tomuta]

I don't know, haven't tried it. Unfortunately my time is rather limited. If you have solutions for your problems, I'd love to know about them so that I can fix these scripts :-)

Same issue....

Proir to hitting this issue , I had to add the -uS option to here: "sfdisk -uS --no-reread $outfile <<EOF" in createimg - the image now gets created the correct size. Next i get the "Error: /dev/loop2: unrecognised disk label"

It is unclear to me how the img file is getting mounted. I will keep looking
