I've been having problems with the new busybox mount.
When I try to mount a CD (after doing the insmods),
I get a weird permission error.  Loop mounts also
don't seem right.  

I think I'll be going back to the old busybox.  The
new busybox stuff is just too flakey.  Whether it's
the the 2.2 kernel or buggy code in busybox, it just
isn't reliable.

Trying mounting the loopfile using losetup:
----------------------------
losetup /dev/loop0  loopfile
mount /dev/loop0  /mnt
...
umount /mnt
losetup -d  /dev/loop0
----------------------------

At this stage it appears that BL3.5 will have the same 
e2fsck as 3.4.

Cheers,
