Actually, insmod means "add a driver to the kernel". (Okay, it means
"load a module", but let's not get technical.) For instance, to use
my CD-ROM, I have to type
insmod sbpcd
The sbpcd is "SoundBlaster Proprietary CD". If your CD-ROM is not IDE
or SCSI, you'll need either a custom-compiled kernel or a module (and
module-aware kernel) to use it.
Why not post to the list what model CD-ROM you have?
