The autodetect code in parport_pc is often wrong and can even be
harmful to parallel ports. It relies partly on undocumented behaviour
and is poking aggressively at registers (e.g. ZIP Windows drivers
refuse all ports but standard ones to avoid these sorts of problems, it seems).
This is at 1st insmod (or after reboot):
Feb 9 22:24:42 m3 kernel: parport1: PC-style at 0x6300 (0x6400) [PCSPP,TRISTATE,COMPAT,ECP]
after rmmod I get this:
Feb 9 22:53:28 m3 kernel: PCI parallel port detected: 1409:7168, I/O at 0x6300(0x6400)
Feb 9 22:53:28 m3 kernel: parport: No ECR <-- custom debug code
Feb 9 22:53:28 m3 kernel: parport1: PC-style at 0x6300 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP]
