You might have smaller no of loopback devices in your domain. By the default there are only 8 loops available. but you can increase the limit up to 256 max this way:-
1- Add this line to /etc/modprobe.conf
options loop max_loop=256
2- The other way is to add 'loop' to /etc/modules
and add the same above mentioned option in /etc/modprobe.d/options

Forgot to mention - I also put the option "blkif=1" in the configuration file for the intended driver domain.
----------------------
What is required for a PV domU to act as a driver domain for a block
device? My goal is to attach a disk image file located within the domU
to dom0 as a block device. The command I am running in dom0 is
xm block-attach 0 file:/root/hdisk.img /dev/xvdb w 2,
where hdisk.img is the disk image file in domU, xvdb is the name of the
intended device node in dom0, and 2 is the domain ID of the domU.

My domU is a PV guest with its kernel replaced by the kernel from dom0,
and I have copied over both /etc/xen/scripts and
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/xen from dom0 to the guest. However,
whenever I attempt the above command, it sits for a while and then
returns with "Error: Device 51744 (vbd) could not be connected. Hotplug
scripts not working.", which is quite vague.

Thank you!
