Hi
I use to be able to mount and iso file under previous OpenSuse version (11.3). Currently using version 12.1.
I tried to mount the iso file with the following:
mount -o loop -t iso9660 file.iso /mtn/isoimage where /mnt/isoimage was created with: mkdir -p /mnt/isoimage.
System responds with: mount: Could not find any loop device. Maybe this kernel does not know about the loop device? (If so, recompile or `modprobe loop'.)
I tried 'modprobe loop' resulting in the following: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/3.1.10-1.19-desktop/modules.dep: No such file or directory
Could someone please give me an idea of how to solve this problem?
Thanks, Terry
mount -o loop file.iso /mnt/isoimage
You shouldn't need to do the -t
However, using KDE4 on OS 12.3, you can just use Dolphin, and click the ISO and tell it to use ark to open it or select Browse the ISO, without having to mount it. Unless you had a specific reason to need it mounted.
Thanks for the reply. I can open it using Dolphin as you suggested. However when is issue the command: mount -o loop file.iso /mnt/isoimage I still get the following: mount: Could not find any loop device. Maybe this kernel does not know about the loop device? (If so, recompile or `modprobe loop'.) I would still like to know what is wrong with my system where I cannot mount the loop device.
