Loop device

[VIGNESH]

ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ sudo losetup -d /dev/loop1
ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ sudo mount ubuntu-live.iso mnt -o loop=/dev/loop1 -t
iso9660mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop1,
       missing codepage or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ syslog
bash: syslog: command not found
ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ dmesg | tail
VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev loop1.
VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev loop2.
VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev loop3.
VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev loop4.

VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev loop1.
Unable to identify CD-ROM format.

This is what I get The losetup worked . I also added iso9660 to
/proc/filesystems using modprobe iso9660

Still no luck...
