Huh ???

Ok, but remember, when i install the base tarball by hand, the above works
without problem, with the exact same kernel. But then modules are installed,
that is the only difference, but the loop module is builtin. 

Could there be another module that has soime influence on this ?

i append here a ls -lR of the modules of this kernel :
