[SOLVED] mounting an iso error

Hi. I am trying to mount an iso into my filesystem so I can use the data on it.
I keep getting the error

sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop 2020Periodicals.iso /home/luser/QST
[sudo] password for luser:
mount: /home/luser/QST: mount failed: Operation not permitted.

I read somewhere that I need loop running and to modprobe for it.

sudo modprobe loop
modprobe: FATAL: Module loop not found in directory /lib/modules/5.10.9-arch1-1

where do I go from here?

Re: [SOLVED] mounting an iso error

Check `uname -r` returns 5.10.9-arch1-1.  The common cause is the running kernel does not match the kernel package version due to lack of reboot or /boot not being mounted when the package was updated.

Hi. That worked!  Thank you. I must have not rebooted upon my last upgrade.
Much appreciated!
