I'm trying to install linux on a Z-Note Flex laptop as the only operating system, I'm using a panasonic KXL-810A cdrom, what driver am i supposed to specify as the scsi adapter in the scsi configuration? or am i doing it wrong altogether?

Not sure if this installation method is supported

The installation method depends on what version of Linux you are
using.  Some Linux distributions do not support installation from
PCMCIA devices at all; others only support PCMCIA network installs.

I think, for Red Hat, if you are prompted for a driver name, then the
PCMCIA device probe has already failed, and you are stuck.  (PCMCIA
devices are always autodetected, and the correct driver is loaded for
you: you generally never explicitly specify that a particular driver
should be loaded)
