I had it compiled once with 2.4.2 but I had problems with one of the NIC
modules, got rid of the old modules (already had a working 2.4.1 anyway)
and recompiled. Thereafter no loop.o in 2.4.2 or 2.4.3 at all. I now have
2.4.2 from some updates in Rawhide and it has it. But, a recompile to try
and get a few other mods doesn't create it. It's certainly selected and
it's basically, the same .config I used from before when it worked,
excepting I turned several more NIC modules on.
