Hi Tim,

Do the required number of loop devices actually exist? If not cd /dev;
MAKEDEV loop<number> and try again.

Yep, I had made all the devices (following the conventions of my OS the /dev/loop$N files were symlinks to /dev/loop/$N which were the actual devices. I made 32 of these, the same number that I set max_loop to.

Luckily I've managed to get it working (not sure quite how but mounting the drive images manually, unmounting them and then trying to boot the VM again seemed to work and it now works beyond a dom0 reboot).

Cheers,
Craig
