Yes... you may have to change the /etc/makedev.d/linux-2.4.x file and set
the max loop devices to max_loop to use MAKEDEV. I'm not sure if this is
a redhat thing though... I always just use mknod. block device, major #7,
chown root.disk, chmod 660.. That should be standard...
cd /dev;
mknod loop16 b 7 16
mknod loop17 b 7 17
mknod loop18 b 7 18
....
