I confirm, knoppix.img is not detected when it is on the same partition 
than KNOPPIX cloop file (tested with fromhd).

_Config_ :

hdc is a small and old hard drive (<2Go):

- hdc1 contains KNOPPIX cloop file and /boot directory with grub
- hdc2 contains knoppix.img

*Working* config of grub:
title Kaella fromhd iso
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/linux-2.6.12 fromhd=/dev/hdc1 home=scan ramdisk=100000 dma 
acpi=off noapic pnpbios=off pci=bios
initrd /boot/minirt-2.6.12.gz
savedefault
boot

*Not working*:

I've made some changes to this known working config:

1 - renamed knoppix.img from hdc2 after having copied it on hdc1, 
home=scan don't detect image on hdc1

2 - same config but home=/cdrom/knoppix.img

3 - same config but home=/dev/hdc1

Hope it could help you.

Ps: this computer although acpi=off noapic pnpbios=off pci=bios don't 
want to stop or reboot,
there is no matter for me but I report it.

See you,
