[Xen-devel] losetup -f not working on SLES10

[Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

c/s 20404 (http://xenbits.xen.org/xen-unstable.hg?rev/830bda7a9c75) 
introduces "losetup -f" to the hotplug scripts to find a free loop 
device. This option does not exists on SLES10, so Xen unstable does not 
work any longer on top on SLES10. I see that using -f is much smarter 
than the old-fashioned way, but shouldn't we keep compatibility with 
older Dom0 userlands?
Is a patch providing fallback to the old code an option?

Regards,
Andre.
