Well, by default there are only 8 loop devices compiled in standard kernels.
There are several ways to overcome the problem:
1) unmount the unused ISOs (recommended, easiest way)
2) use FUSE (Filesystem in User Space doesn't have this stupid limitation,
requires kernel 2.6.14+)
3) compile your own kernel with more loop devices (I think 256 is a
theoretical maximum for v2.6 kernels)
