No idea, sorry. Maybe a 2.6 kernel will make a difference.

I think that if you compile loop as a module, you can specify the number of
devices when loading the module, e.g. "modprobe loop max_loop=64". Or put a
line "options loop max_loop=64" into /etc/modutils/local (and run
update-modules to copy that into /etc/modules.conf).
You'll have to generate extra loop devices with mknod.
