On a build server where other jobs are making use of loop devices, we
occasionally see GRUB's filesystem tests failing with errors like:
losetup: /tmp/tmp.uMgVEh1vvn/ext2_old_256_1024_1_0.img: failed to set
up loop device: Device or resource busy
This is because grub-fs-tester runs `losetup -
If something else on the system is using loopback devices, then the
device that's free at the call to `losetup -f` may not be free in the
following call to try to use it. Instead, find and use the first free
loopback device in a single call to losetup.

Okay,
wimboot works in Grub2 Legacy for example:
# Successfully boots
menuentry "Windows 7" {
set ISOpath="/img/windows_7.iso"
loopback loop $ ISOpath
linux16 /boot/wimboot/wimboot
initrd16 \
newc:bootmgr:(loop)/bootmgr \

We are happy to help but first
