I would guess yes, but I don't have that kernel installed anymore. If you
have an object named loop.o in /lib/modules/2.2.6-16b/block, then you are
probably good to go.

Or you could just try it by picking some relatively small directory and
doing the following.

mkisofs -a -r -o test_image /path/to/some/small_directory/

mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 test_image /mnt/cdrom

If that all works, then you definitely have loopback support ;)
