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 ..
