^^ this was the command line for the unmodified original debian kernel without 
xen, for showing that it dont works in original debian ( without xen ! )

I realised the ^^ snipped patch in the MAKEDEV file, which should create the 
loop-devices between 0 up to 63 during boot

They do not appear in /dev

I've run mknod /dev/loop8 b 7 8 but I didn't get any error message
vhost:~# losetup /dev/loop8
/dev/loop8: [f5d8]:-1 (l:ï
                          $) offset -1208435526, undefined encryption
loop: can't get info on device /dev/loop8: No such device or address
now i run xm create debian.5
now it works :-? I dont know why...
but why are these devices not createt automatically on boot ?

but it Works - Thank you very much for your help
