It's been a long time since I used that, but I think you need to modprobe parport_pc (as root). If you check in this directory: /lib/modules/3.1.0-0.rc4.git0.0.fc16.x86_64/kernel/drivers/parport you will see the various parport kernel modules available. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
