    I am trying to set up an HP 8 GB Parallel Port tape drive with
    Red Hat 7.1. Here is what is happening....

    [root@www /root]# lsmod
    Module Size Used by
    [root@www /root]# modprobe paride
    [root@www /root]# modprobe epat
    [root@www /root]# modprobe pt verbose=1
    /lib/modules/2.4.3-12/kernel/drivers/block/paride/pt.o: init_module: Operation not permitted
    Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
    /lib/modules/2.4.3-12/kernel/drivers/block/paride/pt.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.3-12/kernel/drivers/block/paride/pt.o failed
    /lib/modules/2.4.3-12/kernel/drivers/block/paride/pt.o: insmod pt failed
    [root@www /root]# lsmod
    Module Size Used by
    epat 6320 0
    paride 3728 1 [epat]

    Here is what dmesg shows...
