I'm using Red Hat Linux 9.0 Kernel 2.4.20-20.9 with a Colorado 8GBe drive, when I manually load the modules like this:
[root@BABCOM marc]# /sbin/insmod paride
Using /lib/modules/2.4.20-20.9/kernel/drivers/block/paride/paride.o
[root@BABCOM marc]# /sbin/insmod epat
Using /lib/modules/2.4.20-20.9/kernel/drivers/block/paride/epat.o
[root@BABCOM marc]# /sbin/insmod pt
Using /lib/modules/2.4.20-20.9/kernel/drivers/block/paride/pt.o
[root@BABCOM marc]#
dmesg shows:
paride: version 1.06 installed (parport)
paride: epat registered as protocol 0
pt: pt version 1.04, major 96
pt0: Sharing parport0 at 0x378
pt0: epat 1.02, Shuttle EPAT chip c6 at 0x378, mode 2 (8-bit), delay 1
and the drive seems to work okay.
So I got clever and thought I rebuild the Kernel to include these modules.....
when I boot paride and epat seem to load okay BUT dmesg shows a series
of errors /sbin/modprobe -s -k parport_lowlevel, errno =2
and says exec failed.
The drive is not then accessible.
Here's the config file I used (or what I think the relevant sections are):
# Parallel port support
CONFIG_PARPORT=y
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=m
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_CML1=m
CONFIG_PARPORT_SERIAL=m
# CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_FIFO is not set

# CONFIG_PARPORT_ATARI is not set
# CONFIG_PARPORT_GSC is not set
# CONFIG_PARPORT_SUNBPP is not set
# CONFIG_PARPORT_OTHER is not set
CONFIG_PARPORT_1284=y
# Block devices

CONFIG_PARIDE_EPIA=m-docs-US.iso
CONFIG_PARIDE_FRIQ=m
CONFIG_PARIDE_FRPW=m
CONFIG_PARIDE_KBIC=m
CONFIG_PARIDE_KTTI=m
CONFIG_PARIDE_ON20=m
CONFIG_PARIDE_ON26=m
CONFIG_BLK_CPQ_DA=m
CONFIG_BLK_CPQ_CISS_DA=m
CONFIG_CISS_SCSI_TAPE=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DAC960=m
Any help is appreciated, specially since my unix is rusty (after 3 years in a Windows Development shop) and mostly OSF/1, DecUnix and TRU/64.
