Hi all
I have a standard Suse 8.0 installation on a Toshiba Portege 7020CT, and
a Philips CDRW400 with a parallel port, which I am trying to get working
so that I can do bad things to the copyright of innocent artists.
After reading through the HOWTOs, I realised I needed to load some
kernel modules. I can load paride fine, and on26 (which was mentioned by
a French guy as apparently working with this product). However, when I
try
modprobe pg
I get
linux:/home/dash2 # modprobe pg
/lib/modules/2.4.18-4GB/kernel/drivers/block/paride/pg.o: init_module:
Operation not permitted
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
/lib/modules/2.4.18-4GB/kernel/drivers/block/paride/pg.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.18-4GB/kernel/drivers/block/paride/pg.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.18-4GB/kernel/drivers/block/paride/pg.o: insmod pg
failed
And in fact I get a similar message with all the pcd, pf, pd and pg
drivers.
Does anyone know what the problem might be? I have checked the parallel
cable and it seems fine.
Output of dmesg follows, and some kernel messages below. Thanks very
much, dave

Note that previous kernel logs, when the CDRW wasn't plugged in, don't
mention pg. So at least something seems to be going right.
