Loop problems with UP1.0.9

[Tethys <tethys@ml.com>]

With UltraPenguin 1.0.9 on an Enterprise 4000, I get the following:

[root@ldnas0 /root]# losetup /dev/loop0 /usr/local/misc/redhat51.iso 
ioctl: LOOP_SET_FD: Invalid argument

[root@ldnas0 /root]# cat /proc/devices 
Character devices:

Are loop devices working on UltraPenguin? It's a complete install, with
kernel 2.1.99. AFAIK, nothing's been added or modified since installation.
