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
Mandrake 8.0 Bea requires a minimum Pentium processor.
And the module built for the 2.0 kernel of redHat 5.2 is NOT going to work
with a 2.4 kernel, which is why insmod failed.
You might be able to get Mandrake 5.3 somewhere or you could try RH 6.0, but
a 386 just isn't adequate for 8.0,
