Hello,
perhaps a different module claims the parport, e. g. lp.
Try to remove lp by
rmmod lp
or try and find out which driver claims the parport:
cat /proc/ioports
There is presumably a line showing what grabs 0x378 - try to remove
this with rmmod; if the conflicting driver is not a module but compiled
into the kernel, well, I am afraid there won't be any different way
to get rid of it other than recompiling the kernel...
(Or:
cat /proc/interrupts
Well, this one does not necessarily show up which programs use irq 7, but
you can type it in anyway, just for making sure...)
Bye, Juergen.
