It may be that you don't have the dependencies in your conf.modules, and
that you have to insmod everything in the right order:
insmod parport
insmod parport_pc
insmod paride
insmod on26
insmod pd
Normally you will NOT have to specify any ioport for the pd module as it
is supposed to autoprobe for it.
The above modules can all be loaded automagically with the correct
incantations in /etc/conf.modules and /etc/auto.master if you have both
kmod- and autofs-support in the kernel (IIRC you should have that, if you
have a standard SuSE 6.x kernel).
