Errppp... I forgot to add in these comments as well:

[[ralph@outof ralph]# modprobe pd
/lib/modules/2.2.12-20smp/misc/pd.o: init_module:
Device or resource busy
paride: Device or resource busy

tail of /var/log/messages:
Nov 4 07:16:13 outof kernel: pd: pd version 1.05,
major 45, cluster 64, nice 0 Nov 4 07:16:13 outof

Nov 4 07:16:17 outof kernel: pda: Autoprobe failed
Nov 4 07:16:17 outof kernel: pd: no valid drive found

Thanks.
