Nope ...but I'm getting closer.
I have tried putting all the modules IN the kernel and here is some
feedback from the dmesg.

======================================================
Now this is with ECP set in the BIOS
I have tried EPP
and Bi-directional
No matter the pd autoprobe always fails...with no
valid drive found.
When I use everything as modules and try to
insmod everything ...I can load them
all except pd
with which I get an operation not permitted, error.
even though I have tried the various parameter options
i.e. insmod pd drive0-0x378,0
etc. still get the error.
Thanks for the help though I appreciate it....
Daniel
