BS"D
It may sound stupid, but when I once found myself in the same maze as Jens-Ulrik,
the system sent me also a "kernel too big" message. Found no intelligent way to
get out of this. After compiling an own kernel with the new resources it stopped
also complaining about loopback devices.
Maybe this helps.
Best,
Daniel.
