Problem solved! With the last kernel upgrade I must have changed my loop devices from compiled in to modular, and there's no "loop" entry in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6. If I "modprobe loop" everything works like it's supposed to. Earlier I had also run "grep -i loop /etc/udev/*" and got no results, which sent me into a tailspin - note the spectacular omission of the -r parameter. <sigh> it's been a very long day :-) Thanks for the pointers alan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
