If I'm not mistaken, you need to have loopback device support in your kernel.
This should be under the block device section of your kernel configuration.
From the kernel configuration:
| Quote: | Loopback device support (BLK_DEV_LOOP)
Saying Y here will allow you to use a regular file as a block
device; you can then create a file system on that block device and
mount it just as you would mount other block devices such as hard
drive partitions, CD-ROM drives or floppy drives. The loop devices
are block special device files with major number 7 and typically
called /dev/loop0, /dev/loop1 etc. |

If it's compiled as module, run 'modprobe loop'.
