Hi
I'm installing Linux Mandrake 8.0 BETA 2 on my IBM 386X laptop using a backpack (microsolutions) cdrom with SCSI connection.
I did this installation using the same devices with RedHat 5.2 and to my surprise it had a module (bpcd.o) spcifically for this external cdrom.
However, Mandrake hasn't. I tried to copy the module from RedHat onto a floppy and, during install, using the cdrom image bootfloppy, choose "use third-party module" or something like that. Mandrake recognizes the file on the floppy but when I selects it it says "insmod failed". For some reason it can't install this module. This is very frustrating and I'd appreciate any help on the subject.
Thanks in advance
