Hello all, I'm relatively new to Linux, not computers. I am having
some problems getting a BackpackCDROM to work with a linux laptop. The
machine is Toshiba Portege 3020=pentium 300. OS is Suse8.1.
Trying to get the thing to work I do the following-and as you see it
chokes on installing pcd:
linux:~ # modprobe paride
linux:~ # modprobe bpck6
linux:~ # modprobe pcd
/lib/modules/2.4.19-4GB/kernel/drivers/block/paride/pcd.o: init_module:
Operation not permitted
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameter s.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.19-4GB/kernel/drivers/block/paride/pcd.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.19-4GB/kernel/driver s/block/paride/pcd.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.19-4GB/kernel/drivers/block/paride/pcd.o: insmod pcd
failed
The (what I believe is relevant) output of dmesg is:

My only guess is that on this older, slower computer, the delay setting of
0 may be inappropriate? If so, how do I designate this? at the time
I run the modprobe command? Anyone else have any ideas? I saw there was
a thread in the archive in November that was talking about a similar problem
using the BackpackCDROM in Suse8.1 and the choking on the pcd load was
attributed to the PCMCIA interface. I am not using this interface, but
the parallel port. Maybe it's something related to the Suse package?
Thanks in advance for any insight.
Mike
