In /etc/modprobe.conf add:

  options loop max_loop=256

You'll need to reboot (or unload and reload the loop module) for
the change to take effect.  In FC3 (e.g., kernel 2.6) the maximum
value is 256.  Under earlier releases/kernels the max used to
be 128.

If you need more than 256, as I do sometimes, then I know of
no solution yet.
