Still cannot mount filessystem.  I *can* mount loop0p1 - it's the /boot
partition.

[root@basket ~]# losetup -a
/dev/loop0: [fd00]:79331424 (/var/lib/xen/images/vutil.img)
[root@basket ~]# mount /dev/loop0 /mnt
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[root@basket ~]# mount -o loop /dev/loop0 /mnt
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[root@basket ~]# mount -o loop -t ext3 /dev/loop0 /mnt
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop1,
       missing codepage or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root
[root@basket ~]# kpartx -av /dev/loop0
add map loop0p1 : 0 208782 linear /dev/loop0 63
add map loop0p2 : 0 51183090 linear /dev/loop0 208845
[root@basket ~]# mount /dev/mapper/loop0p2 /mnt
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[root@basket ~]# mount -t ext3 /dev/mapper/loop0p2 /mnt
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/loop0p2,
       missing codepage or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so
