All of your loopback devices are in use.
That would be because you can't load your loop module as it was
removed by rpm.

Please tell me you haven't removed the 2.5 kernel you installed, and
that it has a valid initrd in /boot? Other wise find a redhat install
cdrom and boot it with "linux rescue".
PS- Why doesn't redhat build the loop driver directily into the
kernel!!! People do this all the time.
