Hi... I have my new SLED10 Intel system that I want to use for my FTP

Trying to run the installation tree script it says I need more loop
devices. OK, shouldn't be a big deal, I've done that on several z
SLES9 systems... Just add max_loop=64 to the kernel parms in
zipl.conf, run zipl, reboot and it's fixed..
First I tried adding it to the kernel parms for the boot loader via
Yast. I can see where that changed the menu.1st file in /boot/grub,
and from /var/log/boot.msg I see where it's passed as part of the kernel
command line -- then a little while later I see "loop: loaded (max 8
devices).
I don't know why you do that on zlinux (unless the module's built into
the kernel). A suitable statement in modprobe.conf should do it, on
either platform.
man modprobe.conf
modinfo loop
