Re: More than 8 loop-devices in Knoppix?
If you're using bootfrom, then you have to edit the miniroot linuxrc
file. search for 'modprobe loop' and edit the line to add max_loop
gunzip the miniroot (usually /$CDROM/boot/isolinux/minirt.gz)
loop mount it, edit the file, unmount, and re-zip it.
Then reburn the CD and you should be fine, then. (needless to say, I
haven't tested this)

Is it possible to use more than 8 loop-devices when also using
bootfrom=... boot-param?
Normally (without bootfrom=...) this is easy, just use
sudo modprobe -r loop
sudo modprobe loop max_loop=32 # up to 255
cd /dev
sudo ./MAKEDEV loop8 # repeat for other loops
But when using bootfrom=... the loop-device is in use and I'm not able
to change the max_loop param.
I tried to add max_loop=32 to boot-params, but that didn't do anything.
