If you mean 127.0.0.1 from the linux side, the loopback module isn't
getting loaded. Try:

        /sbin/insmod loop

It might require:

        /sbin/insmod loop; /sbin/ifconfig lo up

See if that helps. If not look in /lib/modules/<kernel_version>/block and
see if it has a module named loop.o in there. If not, something either
erased it or you recompiled the kernel without the loopback support it
needs.

That would be my guess. Of course, this was written relatively quickly and
I may have overlooked something.
