Trying to mount ISO of a DVD Movie (non-protected personal)

I was trying to mount a large 4 gb personal copy of an ISO from a dvd. I keep getting this message

:mount: could not find any device /dev/loop#

I tried mkdir /dev/loop0

but that was no good.

I looked through my kernel config but didn't not see anything related to iso mounting. Am I missing something? Plz help.

Is "Device Drivers ---> Block devices ---> Loopback device support" enabled?

Also, /dev/loop0 is supposed to be either a block device or a symlink to one, not a directory.

No, I didn't have support in my kernel, gonna reconfig and reboot.

I'll let you know the outcome.

Thank you
