Yeah... I do have that in conf.modules! I don't seem to have any problems with any modules, but I do not think they are autoloaded? I need to insmod parport ; insmod parport_pc ; insmod lp All load, but and parport is using parport_pc and lp in brackets. But lp is in use by nothing?! The kernel reports not finding any printing devices. Is there a way to autoload parport and parport_pc (except for a script with insmod)? I cannot just put it in /etc/modules. Also could I be missing so kernel parameters that should go in lilo? I think now I have 'lp=parport0'. I got about 4 or 5 responses yesterday, but I have not had a chance to reboot back to 2.2 to play around again. Thanks all! --Jay
