Well, i use loop devices for other things from fstab,
You mean you put /dev/loop0 (or similar) on /etc/fstab? I simply use
something like this on /etc/fstab

/iso/file1.iso /mnt/iso1 auto ro,loop 0 0

So there's no need to specify a loop device manually

but if i start xen
before mounting them, xen takes over.
I guess one possibility would be to use loop devices backwards (from last
number) so that xen never reaches them...
That could also work :D
