[Xen-users] Problem to get more than 8 loopback deviceses.

[madd_@xxxxxx]

Hello Xen-Users,

I read serveral threads about this problem but I can't get any solution.
I've also read the FAQ 
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenFaq?highlight=%28nloopbacks%29
(position 4.5)

what i made was following:
- add netloop/loopback as a xen-kernelargument
- add max_loop in dom0 kernelargument
- add loop-devices in /dev 
  cd /dev/; for i in `seq 8 127` ; do mknod loop"$i" b 7 $i; done
  but there are gone after reboot (no wonder, because udev? )

localhost:/dev# grep loop /var/log/dmesg
Kernel command line: root=/dev/sda1 ro console=tty0 max_loop=128
loop: loaded (max 8 devices)

need i a option in /etc/modules?


grub:
...
#kernel         /boot/xen-3.0.3-1-i386.gz loopback.nloopbacks=128
kernel          /boot/xen-3.0.3-1-i386.gz netloop.nloopbacks=128
module          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-3-xen-686 root=/dev/sda1 ro console=tty0 
max_loop=128
module          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-3-xen-686
