Something with namespaces? I think I found the bug: This occurs when you
modprobe cloop; rmmod cloop; modprobe cloop again. It's fixed in
cloop-2.623. There was one forgotten disk allocation on rmmod, which
caused the module to unload cleanly, but on second modprobe, the same
disk was allocated twice, causing a kernel oops.

Sorry for not having uploaded the bugfixed version earlier. I was
planning to release it with the next Knoppix DVD. Which is now due in
March/Cebit.
With kind regards
