Hello,
I am having difficulty getting a parallel port card working on my system.
I will first describe what I have and then describe how I am trying to get
the card working...
I am using redhat 7.1, and when I do an 'lspcia -bvvxxx' my card shows up as:

I looked on the redhat website and this card is listed as being supported
using parport (vendor id: 1415, device id: 8403). My modules.conf file
has the following:
alias /dev/printers lp
alias /dev/lp* lp
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
I've tried to get this thing working using the following commands:
[root@kjblack init.d]# /sbin/insmod parport
Using /lib/modules/2.4.2-2/kernel/drivers/parport/parport.o
[root@kjblack init.d]# /sbin/insmod parport_pc io=0x1078 irq=auto
Using /lib/modules/2.4.2-2/kernel/drivers/parport/parport_pc.o
[root@kjblack init.d]# /sbin/insmod lp parport=1
Using /lib/modules/2.4.2-2/kernel/drivers/char/lp.o
I've tried all sorts of combinations with the io address and have tried using
'irq=3' as well. When I do an 'lsmod' it lists the three modules above
so it does load the modules. So far nothing has worked. I've tried putting
the options in the /etc/modules.conf file as well.
I've tried adding the options in the lilo.conf file but that didn't
do anything either. I don't think that parport has been compiled into
the kernel. Moreover, when it boots it tries to load ppa. I've tried
everything to stop this, but I can't figure why it keeps doing it.
(I did not compile it into the kernel when I installed it when I
was using 6.2 before upgrading to 7.1.) When I do an lsmod the ppa
module does not appear.
Here is the message it spits out when it tries to load ppa during reboot:
unresolved symbol parport_register_device_Rf274b881
unresolved symbol parport_unregister_device_Rb0814cd3
unresolved symbol parport_release_Rf8ec22de
unresolved symbol parport_claim_R4c7222c6
unresolved symbol parport_enumerate_Rbc847709
