1. Check /etc/conf.modules & make sure that io & irq are
correct. If not, change it. If irq or io is set to wrong values,
you will get Device or Resource busy. Try to get correct value
from Dos or Windows. These values might work for Linux too.
2. run "modprobe ppa" - this automatically load all required
modules.
