I'm no expert on 2.4.x, and have been curious why this message comes up(I see it on SuSE 8 which uses 2.4.18 ..) at least for this SuSE 8 system here to get parport_pc to load I have to specify the IRQ and io address. with kernel 2.2.x it doesn't seem to care ........ e.g. modprobe parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7 the above parameters are usually the defaults for the parallel port on most systems.. check the bios of your system to be sure if it doesn't work .. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
