Re: [Xen-users] DomU kernel parameters

Hi Henning,

I got it :)
Thanks for your help.

max_loop Solution for DomU( SLES10):
do not use "extra = 3 max_loop=64" inside your vm-config-file
just let it as is: "extra = 3"

instead edit "/etc/modprobe.conf.local" inside your DomU and add
options loop max_loop=64

then it works as expected.
Now I'm able to use this vm as an autoyast Server ;)
