I will try loop BL3.40 with your kernel instead of mine and do some more
experimenting. With my kernel, every time, I am able to write to the scsi
drives but not the loop file when booted with loop BL3.40.

Are you able to boot read-write SCSI loop on a different computer?
Perhaps it's a hardware loop compatibility problem. Is there some
reason why you cannot make an ext2 partition on the SCSI drive?

The 2.2.26 p1 kernel writes, so I booted with it (in loop) and made /dev/sdb2. The 2.4.31 kernel (my sy kernel) does not write:
Error 30 : R/O file system.

What should I change in my kernel config to make it boot loop read/write?
I probably compiled with loop as module - should it be built in?

Back to the scsi controller. Someone just offered us

'several 4-7 year old computers with 8-15GB hard drives and 64MB RAM suitable for Win98 not XP'

Yesterday's Emachine was only 330MHz with 160MB. The onboard ATI RAGE works perfectly with Xvesa and svgalib default config. (Unlike the Compaq onboard ATI chip). Nice linux computer, four spare slots, one spare bay.
