I've tried using multiple insmod= lines insmod=e100 insmod=cpqarray insmod=ncr53c8xx and also using comma seperated modules insmod=e100,cpqarray,ncr538xx but neither method seems to work. I've done fairly extensive searches on google and other places and can't seem to find decent documentation for linuxrc and how to do this. Does anyone have a clue?
