You have a card that the driver does not know about. It looks like you are going to have to give the port numbers to parport_pc and parport_serial when you load them. Does the Linux documentation tell you anything? You are going to have to use "lspci -v" or one of the GUI hardware displays to get the port numbers. Then the trick is figuring out what ports are the serial port(s) and what ports are the parallel port(s). There are more then one port for each, but you normally give the base port, and the driver does the rest. You may have to give the interrupt as well. I am betting you had to install a driver in Windows so that it would work. You may be able to get the port addresses from Windows easier then you can from Linux...
