Bug#41699: Problemes with AIC7880 Controlers

[Genti Daci <gdaci@uptal.tirana.al>]

Yes the loopback device support should be installed on the kernel because
the install program does everything based on a loopback filesystem, I
discovered this on the logs of Installation where the kernel message was
that no loopback device found and thus the Installation does not
continue....

Regards
