Sorry , but this doesnt work for me..
do I have to do something else for get this working ?
i have this script :
"If you have the “loop” driver compiled into your kernel, you need to add 
“max_loop=64” to your kernel boot arguments (the “append=” line in lilo.conf, 
or to the end of the “kernel” line in grub’s menu.lst), and reboot."
If you have the “loop” driver compiled as a module, you need to insmod it with 
“max_loop=64” added to its options. On Debian systems, you 
edit /etc/modules.conf and add “options loop max_loop=64”, and “rmmod loop” 
“modprobe loop”.
If you’re using devfs, then stop here. The new /dev/loop* will appear 
automatically. If not, you’ll need to edit and run MAKEDEV:
Change:
 loop)
 for part in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
 do
 makedev loop$part b 7 $part $disk
 done
 ;;
To:
 loop)
 for part in `seq 0 63`
 do
 makedev loop$part b 7 $part $disk
 done
 ;;
And run “MAKEDEV loop”.
"
with the original debian -kernel, It is possible to use the modules - but this 
doesnt create more loop-devices.
and even the kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6[...] max_loop=64 
line does not work.
under the xen-kernel the command-line doesnt work ( I dont get more devices) , 
and the modprobe command aborts with an error
