HI
it depends which kernel you are using, it seems it doesn't have loopback
device support. can be seen cat /proc/devices

Block devices:
  1 ramdisk
  2 fd
  3 ide0
  7 loop
  8 sd
  9 md
 12 unnamed
 14 unnamed
 38 unnamed
 39 unnamed
 58 lvm
 65 sd
 66 sd

I had a similar problem because too many loop devices were in use. So
the initrd file could not be created and the kernel install failed.
Maybe you have mounted the U4 isos in file system?
