Hi,
  I try to bundle a new image from this one and unexpectedly got this
error:

mke2fs 1.41.9 (22-Aug-2009)

mount: Could not find any loop device. Maybe this kernel does not know
       about the loop device? (If so, recompile or `modprobe loop'.)
ERROR: execution failed: "mount -o loop /mnt/symphony-RC1 /mnt/img-mnt"

modprobe loop
FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.31-300-ec2/modules.dep: No such
file or directory
