Google have pointed me to this solution:

That is, on the dom0-console I enter
mknod /dev/loop8 b 7 8
losetup /dev/loop8
to be able to start my domU's.
How can I get this done by the system itself (something in the
xend-init-file might be a workaround) ?
You shouldn't need to.
The mknod will persist assuming you're running a static /dev, and
if you're using a dynamic one you should have the correct devices
created when you load the loop module.
One think you should do is add the following to /etc/modprobe.d/loop
options loop max_loop=255
This will allow you to have a lot of devices when loading the loop
module, rather than the default of 8.
See here for a quick writeup:

Thank you for your help and work. I have followed both steps in the
writeup. Unfortunately the loop-files in /dev does not survive a reboot.
Now I have put the mknod-line from your writeup in the start of
/etc/init.d/xend and then it works.
