Steve,

Okay, I was concentrating on the bio too big device loop0 message.

Maybe a bug in busybox or the kernel:

http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:1I7Sw6-T9EIJ:bugs.busybox.net/view.php%3Fid%3D498%26nbn%3D6+%22bio+too+big+device+loop0%22+busybox&hl=en&lr=&client=firefox-a&strip=1

The above is the cached, text-only, google link, busybox.org seems to be

Are you running a 2.4 or 2.6 kernel?
