The machine freeze up, nor the keybor nor the mouse works. And it's the same
wether running X or not.

This is my /etc/modules.conf

It's on an add-on card, concretely a PCI. It's a OX12PCI840 from Oxford
Semiconductors.
Bus 0, device 18, function 0:
Parallel controller: PCI device 1415:8403 (Oxford Semiconductor Ltd) (rev
0)
.
IRQ 11.
I/O at 0xeff0 [0xeff7].
I/O at 0xefe4 [0xefe7].
I/O at 0xef40 [0xef5f].
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xfebed000 [0xfebedfff].

Yes I have. I've got Windows 98, and I can use it under Windows 98 with no
problem.

I haven't try yet.
