[SOLVED] Loop Module refuses to load

Pretty simple, I go to mount an image as a loopback device, mount exits with no error however the device isn't mounted. Realize loop module isn't loaded, and well...

andrew@river ~ % sudo modprobe loop
andrew@river ~ % lsmod | grep loop
andrew@river ~ % 

I have checked dmesg and various logs, no error or any sign that this process took place.

EDIT: Nevermind, was running kernel 3.2.9 however my machine was up to date with 3.2.11

You need to reboot after updating your kernel.
